digerata / RoundedRectLabel.h
Created July 30, 2010 16:12
Create a UILabel with a rounded rect background like in the iPhone Mail app. (Much faster than using UILabel.layer.cornerRadius)
//
// RoundedRectLabel.h
//
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
@interface CountLabel : UILabel {
NSInteger cornerRadius;
UIColor *rectColor;
}

Rounded rectangle with gradient background on the iPhone, NSTokenFieldCell style.

Screenshot

Unlike my previous implementation, this one is drawn inside a single view using Core Graphics. It can thus be used for optimized, fast-scrolling cells per Apple's TableViewSuite sample.

The gradient shades are changed from that implementation, too, and the border itself is gradiented (by drawing a smaller rectangle inside a larger one that becomes the border).

You need to include the uicolor-utilities category by Ars Technica.
