How can we change the global tint color on iOS7/iOS8 by code? I want to change multiple objects that use this property, but not change each one, that's why I want to use the global tint property.
Simply change the UIWindow 's tintColor in your application delegate, it's automatically passed as default to all its UIView descendants.
[self.window setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
[[UIView appearance] setTintColor:[UIColor greenColor]];
There are two ways to change your global tint color. As many mentioned above you could change self.window.tintColor in -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:.
More elegant way, in my opinion, is to set Global Tint in File Inspector in your Storyboard while nothing is selected. This way your -application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: is cleaner.
You can specify a tint color for the entire app by setting the window’s tint property. To do this, you could use code similar to the following:
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
self.window.tintColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
return YES;
}
Updated for Swift 2.2
You can do this from anywhere like this:
// Get app delegate
let sharedApp = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
// Set tint color
sharedApp.delegate?.window??.tintColor = UIColor.green()
Or if you're trying to do this from AppDelegate,
self.window?.tintColor = UIColor.green()
Updated for Swift 5
Write in the App Delegate :
self.window?.tintColor = UIColor.green
UIView.appearance().tintColor = .green
same as this but in Swift
Following things DID NOT WORKED for me:
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.tintColor = Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR
navigationItem.backBarButtonItem?.setTitleTextAttributes([NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR], for: .normal)
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyle.black
navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR
navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR
navigationController?.navigationBar.titleTextAttributes = [NSAttributedString.Key.foregroundColor : Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR]
Following WORKED :
SET THE GLOBAL TINT COLOR FROM STORYBOARD.
OR
SET THE TINT COLOR OF THE WINDOW
FOR WHOLE APP:
let sharedApp = UIApplication.sharedApplication()
sharedApp.delegate?.window??.tintColor = UIColor.green()
FOR SPECIFIC CONTROLLER:
set tint color of window while initialization and set back the default tint color of the app while deinitialization.
override init(nibName nibNameOrNil: String?, bundle nibBundleOrNil: Bundle?) {
super.init(nibName: nibNameOrNil, bundle: nibBundleOrNil)
let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.first
window?.tintColor = Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR
}
required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
super.init(coder: coder)
let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.first
window?.tintColor = Theme.light.healthKit.BACK_BUTTON_TITLE_COLOR
}
deinit {
let window = UIApplication.shared.windows.first
window?.tintColor = Theme.light.App.DEFAULT_TINT_COLOR
}

The app I'm working on changes the barTintColor of its navigation bar when pushing new view controllers. Right now we set that colour in the destination view controller's viewWillAppear:method, but we have a few issues with that.
With the way we're doing this right now, the navigation bar's colour changes abruptly, while the rest of the bar content animates as usual. What I'd like is for the bar to fade between the source and destination colour. Is there any way to achieve this with public Cocoa Touch APIs?
You can add extra animations that match the timing and animation curve of the view controller transition using UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator.
A view controller's transitionCoordinator will be set after a view controller's animation has started (so in viewWillAppear of the presented view controller). Add any extra animations using animateAlongsideTransition:completion: on the transition coordinator.
An example:
[[self transitionCoordinator] animateAlongsideTransition:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {
self.navigationController.navigationBar.translucent = NO;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack;
self.navigationController.navigationBar.tintColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
self.navigationController.navigationBar.barTintColor = [UIColor redColor];
} completion:nil];
Here is a simpler fix. The issue with barTintColor not animating correctly on pop occurs when you try to set the navigation bar appearance in viewWillDisappear. The fix is to set it in willMove(toParentViewController:) instead.
The code below will produce a smooth fading transition during both push and pop, and regardless of whether it is initiated by a gesture or button tap. Tested on iOS 10 and 11.
This also works for animating barStyle.
import UIKit
class RedViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
self.title = "Red"
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .red
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = .white
}
override func willMove(toParentViewController parent: UIViewController?) {
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.barTintColor = .white
self.navigationController?.navigationBar.tintColor = nil
}
}
To get a smooth animation during both push and pop, I had to make the navigation bar transparent and animate my own background color view behind it.
Here's my UINavigationController subclass that handles it:
import Foundation
import UIKit
class ColorTransitionNavigationController: UINavigationController {
var navigationBarBackgroundView: UIView!
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Put a background view behind the navigation bar
navigationBarBackgroundView = UIView()
view.insertSubview(navigationBarBackgroundView, belowSubview: navigationBar)
// Make the navigation bar transparent
navigationBar.isTranslucent = true
navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage(), for: .default)
// Size the colored background to match the navigation bar
navigationBarBackgroundView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
navigationBarBackgroundView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor).isActive = true
navigationBarBackgroundView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor).isActive = true
navigationBarBackgroundView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.widthAnchor).isActive = true
// I used a hard-coded 64 instead of constraining to the height of the navigation bar because
// when calling navigationController.setNavigationBarHidden(true), the height of the navigation bar becomes 0
navigationBarBackgroundView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 64.0).isActive = true
}
func setBarTintColor(color: UIColor, animated: Bool, transitionCoordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator?) {
guard let transitionCoordinator = transitionCoordinator, animated else {
navigationBarBackgroundView.backgroundColor = color
return
}
transitionCoordinator.animateAlongsideTransition(in: view, animation: { [weak self] (context) in
let transition = CATransition()
transition.duration = context.transitionDuration
transition.timingFunction = CAMediaTimingFunction(name: kCAMediaTimingFunctionEaseInEaseOut)
self?.navigationBarBackgroundView.layer.add(transition, forKey: nil)
self?.navigationBarBackgroundView.backgroundColor = color
}, completion:nil)
}
}
Usage:
If you want a UIViewController to animate the navigation bar color when it appears, override viewWillAppear and call setBarTintColor.
override func viewWillAppear(_ animated: Bool) {
super.viewWillAppear(animated)
guard let navigationController = navigationController as? ColorTransitionNavigationController else { return }
navigationController.setBarTintColor(color: UIColor.green, animated: animated, transitionCoordinator: transitionCoordinator)
}
I see a white divider between the navigation bars in a UISplitviewController on iOS7.
I couldn't find a way to change that to black. I changed the backgroundColor of the splitViewController's view to black but no luck.
Screenshot: http://cl.ly/SCcu
As long as your screen is in Landscape, you can use this as a workaround:
UIView *coverView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(320, 0, 1, 64)];
[coverView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"black_pixel.png"]]];
[splitViewController.view addSubview:coverView];
Under the hood, there is a UILayoutContainerView at the top of the screen, below the master and detail views. To change the separator color between nav bars, you only need to change the background color of that view.
In Swift, in your subclass of SplitViewController, try following:
override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {
super.viewDidLayoutSubviews()
if let potentialSeparatorView = view.subviews.first as? UIView {
if round(potentialSeparatorView.bounds.height) == 64 {
potentialSeparatorView.backgroundColor = UIColor(red:0.20, green:0.55, blue:0.83, alpha:1)
}
}
}
Put your UISplitViewController in additional ViewController with Container View like this:
Then hide UINavigationBars in master and detail viewControllers, and you'll have only one UINavigationBar without a white line in additional UIViewController.
Try this:
if ( floor(NSFoundationVersionNumber) > NSFoundationVersionNumber_iOS_6_1 ) {
splitViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
use
splitViewController?.view.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
in your tableviewcontroller (master viewcontroller), you can set the color you want as well.
You can do the following to get rid of that white line:
self.splitViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
for (UIView *subView in self.splitViewController.view.subviews) {
subView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
for a custom way to get the splitViewController if you don't have direct access to it:
UIViewController *_splitViewController = self.parentViewController;
while (![_splitViewController isKindOfClass:[UISplitViewController class]]) {
_splitViewController = _splitViewController.parentViewController;
}
_splitViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
for (UIView *subView in ((UISplitViewController *)_splitViewController).view.subviews) {
subView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
For the UISearchBars in our app, there's no cursor shown in the bar with focus when running under iOS 7. How do we make that show?
We are using the SDK 7, with a minimum target of 6. We do have the translucency off for the navigation bars, and set the color at runtime. I can't think of anything else we are doing differently.
Our problem was that the tint color was set to white, so I didn't see it.
Set
searchBar.tintColor = [UIColor blueColor];
In the searchbox property window
open View Section>Set Tint color - default.
Hope this will help.
This is how it can be done in Swift :
override func viewWillAppear(animated: Bool) {
self.searchBar.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
let view: UIView = self.searchBar.subviews[0] as! UIView
let subViewsArray = view.subviews
for (subView: UIView) in subViewsArray as! [UIView] {
println(subView)
if subView.isKindOfClass(UITextField){
subView.tintColor = UIColor.blueColor()
}
}
}
searchBar.tintColor = view.tintColor // self.view usually has the proper tintColor
Better than .blue or whatever.
Just set the tintColor for UISearchBar, in your storyboard, xib or code. Xcode seems to ignore the default tintColor.
You could loop through the searchBars subviews and obtain the uitextfield subview and set its #"insertionPointColor" value to your desired color. Works but is private api
for (UIView *subView in self.searchBar.subviews) {
if ([subView isKindOfClass:[UITextField class]]) {
[[(UITextField *) subView valueForKey:#"textInputTraits"] setValue:[UIColor blackColor] forKey:#"insertionPointColor"];
}
}
My current project's UITableViewCell behavior is baffling me. I have a fairly straightforward subclass of UITableViewCell. It adds a few extra elements to the base view (via [self.contentView addSubview:...] and sets background colors on the elements to have them look like black and grey rectangular boxes.
Because the background of the entire table has this concrete-like texture image, each cell's background needs to be transparent, even when selected, but in that case it should darken a bit. I've set a custom semi-transparent selected background to achieve this effect:
UIView *background = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.bounds] autorelease];
background.backgroundColor = [[UIColor blackColor] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.6];
background.opaque = NO;
[self setSelectedBackgroundView:background];
And although that yields the right look for the background, a weird side effect happens when I select the cell; all other backgrounds are somehow turnt off. Here's a screenshot. The bottom cell looks like it should and is not selected. The top cell is selected, but it should display the black and grey rectangular areas, yet they are gone!
Who knows what's going on here and even more important: how can I correct this?
What is happening is that each subview inside the TableViewCell will receive the setSelected and setHighlighted methods. The setSelected method will remove background colors but if you set it for the selected state it will be corrected.
For example if those are UILabels added as subviews in your customized cell, then you can add this to the setSelected method of your TableViewCell implementation code:
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
self.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}
where self.textLabel would be whatever those labels are that are shown in the picture above
I'm not sure where your adding your selected view, I usually add it in the setSelected method.
Alternatively, you can subclass the UILabel and override the setHighlighted method like so:
-(void)setHighlighted:(BOOL)highlighted
{
[self setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
}
The cell highlighting process can seem complex and confusing if you don't know whats going on. I was thoroughly confused and did some extensive experimentation. Here's the notes on my findings that may help somebody (if anyone has anything to add to this or refute then please comment and I will endeavour to confirm and update)
In the normal “not selected” state
The contentView (whats in your XIB unless you coded it otherwise) is drawn normally
The selectedBackgroundView is HIDDEN
The backgroundView is visible (so provided your contentView is transparent you see the backgroundView or (if you have not defined a backgroundView you'll see the background colour of the UITableView itself)
A cell is selected, the following occurs immediately with-OUT any animation:
All views/subviews within the contentView have their backgroundColor cleared (or set to transparent), label etc text color's change to their selected colour
The selectedBackgroundView becomes visible (this view is always the full size of the cell (a custom frame is ignored, use a subview if you need to). Also note the backgroundColor of subViews are not displayed for some reason, perhaps they're set transparent like the contentView). If you didn't define a selectedBackgroundView then Cocoa will create/insert the blue (or gray) gradient background and display this for you)
The backgroundView is unchanged
When the cell is deselected, an animation to remove the highlighting starts:
The selectedBackgroundView alpha property is animated from 1.0 (fully opaque) to 0.0 (fully transparent).
The backgroundView is again unchanged (so the animation looks like a crossfade between selectedBackgroundView and backgroundView)
ONLY ONCE the animation has finished does the contentView get redrawn in the "not-selected" state and its subview backgroundColor's become visible again (this can cause your animation to look horrible so it is advisable that you don't use UIView.backgroundColor in your contentView)
CONCLUSIONS:
If you need a backgroundColor to persist through out the highlight animation, don't use the backgroundColor property of UIView instead you can try (probably with-in tableview:cellForRowAtIndexPath:):
A CALayer with a background color:
UIColor *bgColor = [UIColor greenColor];
CALayer* layer = [CALayer layer];
layer.frame = viewThatRequiresBGColor.bounds;
layer.backgroundColor = bgColor.CGColor;
[cell.viewThatRequiresBGColor.layer addSublayer:layer];
or a CAGradientLayer:
UIColor *startColor = [UIColor redColor];
UIColor *endColor = [UIColor purpleColor];
CAGradientLayer* gradientLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer];
gradientLayer.frame = viewThatRequiresBGColor.bounds;
gradientLayer.colors = #[(id)startColor.CGColor, (id)endColor.CGColor];
gradientLayer.locations = #[[NSNumber numberWithFloat:0],[NSNumber numberWithFloat:1]];
[cell.viewThatRequiresBGColor.layer addSublayer:gradientLayer];
I've also used a CALayer.border technique to provide a custom UITableView seperator:
// We have to use the borderColor/Width as opposed to just setting the
// backgroundColor else the view becomes transparent and disappears during
// the cell's selected/highlighted animation
UIView *separatorView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 43, 1024, 1)];
separatorView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor redColor].CGColor;
separatorView.layer.borderWidth = 1.0;
[cell.contentView addSubview:separatorView];
When you start dragging a UITableViewCell, it calls setBackgroundColor: on its subviews with a 0-alpha color. I worked around this by subclassing UIView and overriding setBackgroundColor: to ignore requests with 0-alpha colors. It feels hacky, but it's cleaner than any of the other solutions I've come across.
#implementation NonDisappearingView
-(void)setBackgroundColor:(UIColor *)backgroundColor {
CGFloat alpha = CGColorGetAlpha(backgroundColor.CGColor);
if (alpha != 0) {
[super setBackgroundColor:backgroundColor];
}
}
#end
Then, I add a NonDisappearingView to my cell and add other subviews to it:
-(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
static NSString *cellIdentifier = #"cell";
UITableViewCell *cell = [self.tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:cellIdentifier];
if (cell == nil) {
cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:cellIdentifier] autorelease];
UIView *background = [cell viewWithTag:backgroundTag];
if (background == nil) {
background = [[NonDisappearingView alloc] initWithFrame:backgroundFrame];
background.tag = backgroundTag;
background.backgroundColor = backgroundColor;
[cell addSubview:background];
}
// add other views as subviews of background
...
}
return cell;
}
Alternatively, you could make cell.contentView an instance of NonDisappearingView.
My solution is saving the backgroundColor and restoring it after the super call.
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated
{
UIColor *bgColor = self.textLabel.backgroundColor;
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
self.textLabel.backgroundColor = bgColor;
}
You also need to do the same thing with -setHighlighted:animated:.
Found a pretty elegant solution instead of messing with the tableView methods. You can create a subclass of UIView that ignores setting its background color to clear color. Code:
class NeverClearView: UIView {
override var backgroundColor: UIColor? {
didSet {
if UIColor.clearColor().isEqual(backgroundColor) {
backgroundColor = oldValue
}
}
}
}
Obj-C version would be similar, the main thing here is the idea
I created a UITableViewCell category/extension that allows you to turn on and off this transparency "feature".
You can find KeepBackgroundCell on GitHub
Install it via CocoaPods by adding the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'KeepBackgroundCell'
Usage:
Swift
let cell = <Initialize Cell>
cell.keepSubviewBackground = true // Turn transparency "feature" off
cell.keepSubviewBackground = false // Leave transparency "feature" on
Objective-C
UITableViewCell* cell = <Initialize Cell>
cell.keepSubviewBackground = YES; // Turn transparency "feature" off
cell.keepSubviewBackground = NO; // Leave transparency "feature" on
Having read through all the existing answers, came up with an elegant solution using Swift by only subclassing UITableViewCell.
extension UIView {
func iterateSubViews(block: ((view: UIView) -> Void)) {
for subview in self.subviews {
block(view: subview)
subview.iterateSubViews(block)
}
}
}
class CustomTableViewCell: UITableViewCell {
var keepSubViewsBackgroundColorOnSelection = false
override init(style: UITableViewCellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) {
super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier)
}
// MARK: Overrides
override func setSelected(selected: Bool, animated: Bool) {
if self.keepSubViewsBackgroundColorOnSelection {
var bgColors = [UIView: UIColor]()
self.contentView.iterateSubViews() { (view) in
guard let bgColor = view.backgroundColor else {
return
}
bgColors[view] = bgColor
}
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
for (view, backgroundColor) in bgColors {
view.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
}
} else {
super.setSelected(selected, animated: animated)
}
}
override func setHighlighted(highlighted: Bool, animated: Bool) {
if self.keepSubViewsBackgroundColorOnSelection {
var bgColors = [UIView: UIColor]()
self.contentView.iterateSubViews() { (view) in
guard let bgColor = view.backgroundColor else {
return
}
bgColors[view] = bgColor
}
super.setHighlighted(highlighted, animated: animated)
for (view, backgroundColor) in bgColors {
view.backgroundColor = backgroundColor
}
} else {
super.setHighlighted(highlighted, animated: animated)
}
}
}
All we need is to override the setSelected method and change the selectedBackgroundView for the tableViewCell in the custom tableViewCell class.
We need to add the backgroundview for the tableViewCell in cellForRowAtIndexPath method.
lCell.selectedBackgroundView = [[UIView alloc] init];
Next I have overridden the setSelected method as mentioned below.
- (void)setSelected:(BOOL)selected animated:(BOOL)animated {
[super setSelected:selected animated:animated];
// Configure the view for the selected state
UIImageView *lBalloonView = [self viewWithTag:102];
[lBalloonView setBackgroundColor:[[UIColor hs_globalTint] colorWithAlphaComponent:0.2]];
UITextView *lMessageTextView = [self viewWithTag:103];
lMessageTextView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
UILabel *lTimeLabel = [self viewWithTag:104];
lTimeLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
}
Also one of the most important point to be noted is to change the tableViewCell selection style. It should not be UITableViewCellSelectionStyleNone.
lTableViewCell.selectionStyle = UITableViewCellSelectionStyleGray;
Is there a way to hide the titlebar in an NSWindow? I don't want to have to completely write a new custom window. I can't use NSBorderlessWindowMask because I have a bottom bar on my window, and using NSBorderlessWindowMask makes that disappear. I also tried using setContentBorderThickness:forEdge: with NSMaxYEdge and setting it to 0, that didn't work either.
Any help is appreciated
[yourWindow setStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask];
Starting from OS X 10.10, you can hide title bar.
window1.titlebarAppearsTransparent = true
window1.titleVisibility = .Hidden
Maybe you want to override window style.
window1.styleMask = NSResizableWindowMask
| NSTitledWindowMask
| NSFullSizeContentViewWindowMask
Kind of Welcome screen NSWindow / NSViewController setup (Swift 4.1)
extension NSWindow {
enum Style {
case welcome
}
convenience init(contentRect: CGRect, style: Style) {
switch style {
case .welcome:
let styleMask: NSWindow.StyleMask = [.closable, .titled, .fullSizeContentView]
self.init(contentRect: contentRect, styleMask: styleMask, backing: .buffered, defer: true)
titlebarAppearsTransparent = true
titleVisibility = .hidden
standardWindowButton(.zoomButton)?.isHidden = true
standardWindowButton(.miniaturizeButton)?.isHidden = true
}
}
}
class WelcomeWindowController: NSWindowController {
private (set) lazy var viewController = WelcomeViewController()
private let contentWindow: NSWindow
init() {
contentWindow = NSWindow(contentRect: CGRect(x: 400, y: 200, width: 800, height: 472), style: .welcome)
super.init(window: contentWindow)
let frameSize = contentWindow.contentRect(forFrameRect: contentWindow.frame).size
viewController.view.setFrameSize(frameSize)
contentWindow.contentViewController = viewController
}
}
class WelcomeViewController: NSViewController {
private lazy var contentView = View()
override func loadView() {
view = contentView
}
init() {
super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
contentView.backgroundColor = .white
}
}
class View: NSView {
var backgroundColor: NSColor?
convenience init() {
self.init(frame: NSRect())
}
override func draw(_ dirtyRect: NSRect) {
if let backgroundColor = backgroundColor {
backgroundColor.setFill()
dirtyRect.fill()
} else {
super.draw(dirtyRect)
}
}
}
Result
What happens if you get the superview of the close button? Can you hide that?
// Imagine that 'self' is the NSWindow derived class
NSButton *miniaturizeButton = [self standardWindowButton:NSWindowMiniaturizeButton];
NSView* titleBarView = [miniaturizeButton superview];
[titleBarView setHidden:YES];
The only way I know would be to create a window without a titlebar (see
NSBorderlessWindowMask). Note that you can't (easily) create a window without a
titlebar in IB, so you will have to do a bit of work in code (there are a
couple of different approaches, you can probably figure it out).
A big drawback with using a window without a titlebar is that you're now on the
hook for much more of the standard appearance and behaviour - rounded corners
and such.
I had an experience that when I first set content view of my window and then set the window borderless:
[yourWindow setStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask];
Nothing would appear in my window. So i first set the style mask and after that i've set the content view:
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
// 1. borderless window
[[self window] setStyleMask: NSBorderlessWindowMask];
// 2. create the master View Controller
self.masterViewController = [[MasterViewController alloc] initWithNibName:#"MasterViewController" bundle:nil];
// 3. Add the view controller to the Window's content view
[self.window.contentView addSubview:self.masterViewController.view];
self.masterViewController.view.frame = ((NSView*)self.window.contentView).bounds;
}
And voila, the content of my window has appeared.
Select Window in storyboard or XIB and tick the red circled option.
You can use WAYInAppStoreWindow available on GitHub which works on Yosemite and Mavericks.
Swift
NSApp.mainWindow?.styleMask = .borderless
