Theme Setting

Using UIAppearance

UIAppearance customizations are applied to AcquireIO SDK by default. However if there is a conflicting property, then the value in ThemeOptions key in AcquireIOConfig will take precedence.

For example: If the app uses UIAppearance to change the color of Navigation Bar title and also specifies a color for the same property in the AcquireIOConfig ThemeOptions NSDictionary, then the value in dictionary will be used. In order to use the UIAppearance value, the app must leave the corresponding entry in the ThemeOptions blank.

if you don't want to use AcquireIOConfig ThemeOptions properties to SDK the use init method attribute option to 'UseDefaultTheme' to @YES.

Introduction

Head over to Theming if you want to customize your SDK integration's typeface, colors or fonts. It is done via simple key-value pairs in option dictionary.

Configuration

Check this code in [[AcquireIO support] setAccount: withOptions:]; method, where withOptions parameter is an instance of AcquireIOConfig, set options dictionary in AcquireIOConfig using:

NSDictionary *options = @{};
AcquireIOConfig *config = [AcquireIOConfig config];
[config setDict:options];

//Pass `config` to- setAccount: withOptions:config

Set NSDictionary options in format of key value. Color code will be hex value of color, start from #. You can remove and leave blank for default theme effect. Sample format

NSDictionary *themeDict = [@{@"ACQUIREIO_GLOBAL": @{
                                           @"THEME_COLOR": @"#00ff00"
                                           },
                             @"ACQUIREIO_NAVIGATION_BAR": @{
                                           @"BAR_TINTCOLOR"         : @"#00ff00",
                                           @"TINT_COLOR"            : @"#fae1dd"
                                           },
                             @"ACQUIREIO_SYSTEM_BUTTON": @{
                                           @"BACKGROUND_COLOR": @"#ff0000",
                                           @"BUTTON_INSET_BOTTOM"   : @100,
                                           @"BUTTON_INSET_RIGHT"    : @90
                                           }
                                   } mutableCopy];
    
    
    
    NSDictionary *options = @{
                                ...
                             @"ThemeOptions": themeDict
                             };
