Libstatusbar: pwning the statusbar for you. | |
Libstatusbar is chiefly a compatibility library for 3.x-like statusbar icon support under 4.x++, but allows for a more advanced API for custom time strings and icon swapping. | |
All icons should be placed in either: | |
3.x style, does not support retina icons: | |
Silver statusbar: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard/Default_<name>.png | |
Black statusbar: /System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard/FSO_<name>.png | |
4.x style, supports retina (@2x) icons: | |
Silver statusbar: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Silver_<name>.png | |
Black statusbar: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Black_<name>.png | |
5.x style, additionally supports notification center icons: | |
Silver statusbar: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/ColorOnGrayShadow_<name>.png | |
Black statusbar: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/WhiteOnBlackEtch_<name>.png | |
Notif. statusbar: /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/WhiteOnBlackShadow_<name>.png | |
6.x style: Same as 5.x, but the silver statusbar went poof. | |
7.x style: Take a completely black icon and tint it to the appropriate shade. | |
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/LockScreen_<name>.png | |
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Black_<name>.png | |
To support color icons, use the following naming conventions: | |
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/LockScreen_<name>_Color.png | |
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/Black_<name>_Color.png | |
/System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/White_<name>_Color.png | |
3.x-6.x styles are cross compatible; 7.x is not. Blame Apple for royally screwing the pooch by using overlapping names with different meanings (black statusbar vs black icon) vs. the 4.x convention. So, for 7.x, please change over/update your icons for the new style. | |
--- BASIC API --- | |
3.x-style, simply add/remove items. These will appear in the right list. | |
[UIApp addStatusBarImageNamed: (NSString*) name]; | |
[UIApp removeStatusBarImageNamed: (NSString*) name]; | |
--- ADVANCED API --- | |
Libstatusbar also supports the ability to swap out icons, temporarily hide them, and change the statusbar string. | |
See LSStatusBarItem.h for the API and Testing.mm for example usage | |
Additionally, Libstatusbar now supports the ability to add and remove icons from daemons. Use with care. | |
