CustomBadge

CustomBadge allows you to produce custom badges in monotouch. It's a single UIView subclass providing all the functionallity required to create badges of different sizes and colors. CustomBadge is more or less a direct port of the original CustomBadge project. CustomBadge (c) Sascha Marc Paulus http://www.spaulus.com.

This was created with the following code:

this.View.BackgroundColor = UIColor.LightGray;

CustomBadgeView c1 = new CustomBadgeView ("2")
{
    TextColor = UIColor.White,
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Red,
    Border = true,
    BorderColor = UIColor.White,
    ScaleFactor = 1f,
    Shining = true
};

CustomBadgeView c2 = new CustomBadgeView ("CustomBadge")
{
    TextColor = UIColor.Black,
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Green,
    BorderColor = UIColor.Yellow,
    ScaleFactor = 1.5f
};

CustomBadgeView c3 = new CustomBadgeView ("Now Retina Ready!")
{
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Blue,
    ScaleFactor = 1.5f
};

CustomBadgeView c4 = new CustomBadgeView ("… and scalable")
{
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Purple,
    BorderColor = UIColor.Black,
    ScaleFactor = 2.0f
};

CustomBadgeView c5 = new CustomBadgeView ("… with Shining")
{
    TextColor = UIColor.Black,
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Orange,
    BorderColor = UIColor.Black
};

CustomBadgeView c6 = new CustomBadgeView ("… without Shining")
{
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Brown,
    BorderColor = UIColor.Black,
    Shining = false
};

CustomBadgeView c7 = new CustomBadgeView ("Still Open & Free")
{
    BadgeColor = UIColor.Black,
    BorderColor = UIColor.Yellow,
    ScaleFactor = 1.25f
};

// Positions
c1.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c1.Frame.Width / 2 + c2.Frame.Width / 2 - 10, 105), c1.Frame.Size);
c2.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c2.Frame.Width / 2, 110), c2.Frame.Size);
c3.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c3.Frame.Width / 2, 150), c3.Frame.Size);
c4.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c4.Frame.Width / 2, 185), c4.Frame.Size);
c5.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c5.Frame.Width / 2, 235), c5.Frame.Size);
c6.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c6.Frame.Width / 2, 260), c6.Frame.Size);
c7.Frame = new RectangleF (new PointF (this.View.Frame.Width / 2 - c7.Frame.Width / 2, 310), c7.Frame.Size);


// Adding to view
this.View.AddSubview (c2);
this.View.AddSubview (c1);
this.View.AddSubview (c3);
this.View.AddSubview (c4);
this.View.AddSubview (c5);
this.View.AddSubview (c6);
this.View.AddSubview (c7);
