Tint Colors

Note: This feature has been removed as of version 2.1.8

Anemone allows changing the tint color of the UI. On iOS 7 and higher, a lot of the UI is based on the tint colors that are set. Anemone allows changing the tint of views and allows targeting specific views or just enabling it for everything.

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

JunesiPhone has made an online tool to help themers use this feature. Link

Tint Filter Settings

Key: "TintFilter"
Type: Dictionary

Anemone allows targeting which apps to load or not load the tint settings in.

Note: You must have tint filter settings, even a blank filter, or your tint settings will not be loaded.

Tint Policy

Key: "policy"
Type: String
Default: blacklist

The tint 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 tint policy setting.

Tint Color Settings

Key: "TintColors" Type: Dictionary

A dictionary with the values as CSS-compatible color strings to specify the color to tint each view. The key is the class or superclass of the desired UIView type to change. Example classes are listed below.

Note: More specific class definitions override less-specific class definitions, regardless of theme ordering.

Important Note regarding UIImageView's and UIImageView subclasses: to avoid tinting issues, tinting UIImageView subclasses directly has been disabled while we investigate a bug with it. For now, please tint the UIImageView's superview and the UIImageView should inherit the tint correctly.

Class	Description
UIView	Tint /everything/. May be easily overridden though.
Global	An alias for UIView
UITableView	Table Views (E.g. Settings Panels)
UISwitch	Toggle Switches
UISwitchThumb	An alias for the thumb of toggle switches.
UISegmentedControl	The frame of segmented buttons
UISegment	Segmented Buttons
UINavigationBar	Navigation Bars
UIToolbar	Toolbars
UISlider	Sliders
UIStatusBar	Status Bars
UIButton	Buttons
UITextField	Text Fields

Status Bar Items

To theme status bar items: look for items here that end in "ItemView" and begin with "UIStatusBar": https://github.com/nst/iOS-Runtime-Headers/tree/master/Frameworks/UIKit.framework

(example: UIStatusBarHomeItemView.h). For the key to use for Anemone, remove ".h" from the end and use that as your key. (e.g. UIStatusBarHomeItemView)
