It seems that all color except transparency count as one color. If I use this pictures, all I get is a big box and only the first 2 lines are drawn.
What do do if we want colourful tab bar icons then?
Note: If I use the image above, what I get is this:
There isn't anyway to make colorful tab bar icons isn't it? Where is this documented anyway?
Yes, the image you use for a custom tab bar icon is just used as a mask to create the icon you will see when the app runs. It should be white with appropriate alpha trasparency. This is documented here: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconsImages/IconsImages.html

I want the touch area to be off the edge without padding. All the icons in the header. How can I do this?
I tried to add an indentation style for the icon. But it does not look beautiful. And yet there is an area without touch.
Look at here
You can increase the touchable area by using 'hitSlop', See document here
below i attached an app help guide screen. I am understanding how to build this screen.
If any body have idea please share here
View with semi transparent background color (backgroundColor:"rgba(0,0,0,0.5)";) and some images on top of it.
So, using images is bad. You'll need images for translations and if you do this as one image you'll need to ensure all devices are covered so your arrows point to the right element.
Minimise images == smaller app.
First thing you'll need to do is a create a blocker view -- so that's a view that will fill the screen and have a black background with opacity.
You can't apply that to the window as everything in it will be semi-transparent so:
Create a transparent Window that fills the screen.
Add to that window a view that fills the window and has opacity say 0.5 and black background
Add to the Window (not the view you just created) the other elements and button -- ideally, these should be individual graphics of the arrows, sized in such a way that you can position them based on the host element (the item they are pointing to / referring to). Use real text so you can handle translations / reduce file size.
So you'll need a way to associate each tip with a control they are anchored too, and that will ensure that regardless of the screen size, the tip will appear in the correct place.
First of all, always give a try before putting questions anywhere because it makes you learn things on your own for long time.
The easiest step for you to do this is to ask your designer to create a complete image just like that & you just have to show it on top.
If you have to show that image in different translations, then you can ask your designer to provide you required translations images.
I need to create a (very) custom titlebar in a cocoa app. I read about the INAppStoreWindow library, but it seems it doesn't have the feature that I need. So here's what I have need to do (see image for clarification):
My titlebar is the thing between the green and red circle
The text (Text1 - Text3) are all images
The black circle with the exclamation mark is also an image
The grey area below the title bar is a webview. It expands from the left border all the way to the right edge of the reddish sidebar. (This is actually where why I think that the INAppStoreWindow won't work, as I cannot specify a width for the title bar)
The images should have an Action
Text1 through Text3 as well as the black circle load some URL into the webview
Red circle closes the app
My app has no borders and no shadows. Right know in order to be able to move the app I drew a Box element at the top where the title bar should be. I think I can draw something in it as well, but as I'm very knew to cocoa development here are my questions:
How can I draw some images in the Box element?
Is there a better element to draw the titlebar in?
I know that are two questions, but they are closely relatated. It's generally: How to draw a simple titlebar like this?
As the problem inside the titlebar is the same for every item I need to draw (they are all images) I belive there is a quite simple solution for that, but because I lack the experience of how to solve this I'd need your help. You can also point me the the right direction in the comments and I'll answer this question myself after I've got it right.
How may I create the Area Bar like the below Image Bar on the Top and Bottom too for Area? I search a lot but didn't find it that how may I make it?
You can use rectangular marquee tool and fill the desired color.
Marquee tool have add and subtract option too by which you can make different shapes also according to your image.
The bar I’m looking for is the separator bar between the editor area and the debug area:
Specifically, I want the buttons to have no borders and I want to have the vertical separator (to the left of ‘No Selection’).
I haven’t done any AppKit stuff in Mountain Lion yet, so before I start implementing my own custom control, I was wondering if I have overlooked a new control (or options for existing controls), or otherwise if somebody has already implemented a custom control that does this?
Its just NSButtons with a custom background image (which is the silver effect) and the "Image" which is the control image.
A quick look inside Xcode.app/Contents/OtherFrameworks/DevToolsInterface.framework/Versions/A/Resources will show you the relevant images.
