iOS Open Source : Semi-Modal View
Kent Nguyen has created a category that extends UIViewController, displaying another view which partially covers the current view. Take a look at the screenshot below to get an idea of how this looks. The original view (on the top) is partially hidden and the new view on the bottom is modal.
iOS Open Source : Circular Rotating Menu
CDPieMenu is an open source project that provides a configurable, circular control for menu selection. The look is similar to the rotating hardware control on the original iPod. In the screenshot above I’ve set the control to contain 10 images, each the same (white arrow). The control handles the UI from layout of the images [...]
iOS Open Source : Animated Menu
AwesomeMenu is an interesting menu control – it starts with a single image, and when tapped, it animates to show a number of selectable options. The first image below shows the beginning of the animation, where the menu items are represented by the white stars within a circle. The following image shows additional menu items, [...]

iOS Open Source : GMGridView
Gulam Moledina is the developer of GMGridView, a very nice UI control for managing a grid of views. You can move grids, use pinch, rotate and pan gestures, and create both vertical and horizontal layouts. The screenshot below shows a two column vertical grid. Item 96 is shown in a different color as this is [...]
iOS Open Source : Popup with Selection List
Created as an alternative to UIActionSheet, LeveyPopListView displays a popup window with a selectable list of options. This project covers a number of fundamental iOS programming concepts – creating and drawing UIViews; building a UITableView with custom UITableViewCells; animation effects with blocks (done when both showing and hiding the popup). Below is a screenshot of [...]
iOS Open Source : Sliding View Controller
ECSlidingViewController is a nice UI control that shows a child view controller by sliding a parent controller aside. Below are few screenshots to give you an idea how this control works:
iOS Open Source : SVProgressHUD Heads Up Display
Although I’ve covered HUDs previously, Sam Vermette has done a nice job with his design and implementation. I like Sam’s approach, the methods for displaying and dismissing heads-up-displays are class methods – this is a nice touch in that you don’t need to worry about allocating and releasing objects. There is an abundance of interesting [...]
iOS Open Source : Doorway Transition with CoreAnimation
Ken Matsui has written a unique transition for moving between views that I want to share with you – the effect is similar to sliding open two doors, with the following view moving toward the front of the display in a smooth, sliding motion. The images below show the basic idea, however, you owe it [...]
