Override Colors

Note: This feature has been removed as of version 2.1.8

Anemone supports overriding commonly used system colors, which allows theming many aspects of iOS 7 & 8. Just like tint colors, a special set of colors are system colors in iOS and used in many views on the system.

Color Override settings, just like images, stack up as themes are enabled so you can feel free to include multiple sub-themes that have different color override settings and they'll add up.

Color Policy

Key: "policy"
Type: String
Default: blacklist

The color policy specifies whether Tints should be allowed on a whitelist or blacklist basis. Set to "whitelist" to whitelist individual apps.

Bundle Identifiers

Key: "BundleIdentifiers" Type: Array

An array of bundle id's to whitelist or blacklist based on the color policy setting.

Override Color Settings

Key: "OverrideColors" Type: Dictionary

A dictionary with the values as CSS-compatible color strings to specify the color to override a system color. The key is the name of the desired system color to change. Example colors are listed below.

Color	Description
TableBackground	Change the background of table views.
TableCellBackground	Change the background of table view cells.
TableCellSelectionBackground	Change the background of selected table view cells.
DarkTextColor	Change the color of dark text.
SystemWhiteColor	Change the colors that are normally white.
SectionHeaderBackgroundColor	Change the background of section headers.
BlackColor	Change colors that are normally black (e.g. text)
BarBackgroundColor	Change the background of toolbars & nav bars.

Example

An example night mode theme for the settings app is available below. It uses Override Colors with Tint Colors to achieve the effect.
