CBToolkit

Meet your new UI. CBToolkit brings your UI to life and thanks to Xcode's IB tools, you can do it without a single line of code. All the elements in the kit are designs to be drag and drop replacements for their UIKit ancestors.

Using the views

CBToolkit is designed to help you creat great UIs without extra code. Thanks to IBDesignables many visual effects can be set right in the storyboard. Simply drop the appropriate UIKit element (UIView, UIButton, UIImageView...) into your view controller and change the class to the CB* equivilent.

For example, to add a CBProgressView just drop in a UIVIew, open the attributes inspector in the right utilities panel and set the class to CBProgressView. The custom properties will now be available right along side the standard backgroundColor and such.

And if you really have the urge to type, you can always create CBToolkit views progamratically just like anything else.
