Swift and setGlobalThemeUsingPrimaryColor

[DavidGagne]

Is there a way to implement the setGlobalThemeUsingPrimaryColor feature in Swift or is that only available in Obj-C?

[bre7]

You can use objc code in swift.

E.g:

Chameleon.setGlobalThemeUsingPrimaryColor(FlatPlum(), withContentStyle: .Light)

[DavidGagne]

Oh, awesome. And ... Would you drop that into the AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions? How can you set it to apply to the entire app?

[bre7]

Yeah, you can use the method in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions

[DavidGagne]

Using FlatPlum() doesn't work, but when I tried with UIColor.flatSandColor() it does compile.
Thanks!

Follow the Installation instructions, FlatPlum() is a shorthand method located in the swift file.

[DavidGagne]

Ah. I used pod 'ChameleonFramework' instead of pod 'ChameleonFramework/Swift'.

Now the shorthand methods are working.

Hey @bre7 I cant seem to be able to call setGlobalThemeUsingPrimaryColor using the viewcontroller's instance (self) in swift. It gives me no function error

[bre7]

Hi, just to be sure: have you followed the installation instructions ? Are you able to call FlatPlum() for instance ?

[Dharin-shah]

Yup, i have been using flat colors for months, i decided to use the theme feature and got this, Although i can set the theme globally however since i have a tab navigation to other view controllers this messes up my ui

setGlobalThemeUsingPrimaryColor is a static method on Chameleon.
setThemeUsingPrimaryColor is an instance method of UIViewController.

Oops oops, I am really sorry for my ignorance, that was stupid. Thank You. Just another question, how do I set the font name but its attribute (i.e bold ,italic) could be inferred from the IB

[bre7]

What do you mean ?
