Slack on the Mac at least removed the title bar but still has the control buttons. How do I duplicate this effect? Is there an electron option I missing or did slack rollout there own control buttons?
You can do this with Electron by setting the titleBarStyle option.
To use it:
var winObj = new BrowserWindow({
titleBarStyle: 'hidden',
});
This will hide the title bar but still keep the traffic lights in the corner.
Here are different values for the titleBarStyle option:
default
Results in the standard gray opaque Mac title bar.
hidden (Used in the example).
Results in a hidden title bar and a full size content window, yet the title bar still has the standard window controls ("traffic lights") in the top left.
hiddenInset
Results in a hidden title bar with an alternative look where the traffic light buttons are slightly more inset from the window edge.
See the docs for the BrowserWindow options (search for titleBarStyle).

I want to implement a bar at the bottom of the screen with the home button - exactly like in Instagram or Messanger apps. I was trying to use a tab bar (https://developer.apple.com/ios/human-interface-guidelines/bars/tab-bars/)
And I would like to utilize system home icon for the tab bar button/item (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplicationshortcuticontype/1623374-home)
Is there any simple and straight forward way to set this home icon for the tab bar item?
Some icons can be selected directly from the list in the button/item properties in Xcode, but this home icon is not among them.
I also saved the png from the link above, resized it to 30x30 and added as a picture for the button/item, but it's just showing a grey rectangle.
Apple may or may not provide you with some images. In general no one uses stock images but provide their own. You should do the same.
So "Adding home icon to the tab bar" is pretty much the same as for any other tab bar item. You can add your image and/or text that represents your "home" button. Some images may already be at your disposal but others must be made/bought/stolen by you.
The image you use in tab bar item is only used as a mask and not as an explicit image. What that means is that only alpha component of the image will be taken. In your case you have a black icon on white background which from alpha perspective means you have a rectangle. You will need to remove the white background and make it transparent or use another image that already has these properties.
I am not sure for tab bar but you might also try to open your assets, select your image and then in options on the right find "Render as" and set it to "Original image". Even if this will work the results will not be as you desire (at least in most cases) due to a white background on the image.
In general this option is used to set it to "template" which means whenever you use this image on your components such as UIImageView it will use it's tint color and image alpha component instead of the actual colors from the image. It is a very useful tool but again I am not sure it will work on tab bar item.
You should stop wondering if Xcode is designed to be overcomplicated. Putting aside numerous amount of bugs (and there is really a lot of them) and it being slow (it really used to be faster) it is designed very nicely. But tab bar view controller is extremely high level component. If you don't like it the way it is then simply create your own. All you need is a bottom view with your N buttons which may be shaped any way you can possibly imagine and a container view on which you set a new view controller when one of those buttons is pressed.
My text input field searches over unique content that never matches auto-suggest and doesn't need undo/redo functionality. Is there a way to hide this bar in react-native for iOS? I have spellCheck and autoCorrect both set to false but as shown in the image below, the bar remains only without those features.
I want to hide the whole thing. It is covering my interface!
Alternatively, I could move the UI up by that height when the text field is in focus, but I was hoping to avoid that.
BRyan! try setting autoComplete="off" as well. You might also want autoCapitalize="none" for this use case.
I'm using Xcode 6.
My app ist by default all white background and black text, text that is present in the title of the nav bar, the table views content, and the tab bar for example.
I would like that all my views (the tab bar and nav bar too) to be dark gray and hence all the text previously mentioned to be white.
Should I set it up for each view of my numerous view controllers, or there is a way to set it up for all the views of the app ?
Thanks for the advice and help
The right way would be to set it up everywhere manually yourself. Because it will be helpful for people in the future to see what you are doing and where.
Another way, which is equally correct would be to create your own customUIViews which would by default channge their colors to grey, and customUITextField which will turn their text white and same goes for labels.
Or use Categories on top of the existing classes of UI, and create a function setUpColor/setupFontColor, and call that function everwhere you want. (I would personally go with the very first solution.)
I have 2 problems with a VCL TRibbon. I am using C++ Builder XE3.
Extra bar along the top. There is an extra bar along the top which i cant remove. I don't see any options which effect it.
Is there a way to remove just the tab. I only have 1 ribbon page and there is no need for the tab with the text.
I am trying to get the icons flush against the App border.
In the contacts app, the search bar is shown with a white background and it blends in well with the surrounding UI. The only style choices in Interface Builder don't seem to show a way to host just the search bar, but instead includes chrome around it to make it look slightly 3d.
Is there a way to get rid of the surrounding chrome and simply have the search bar overlaid on my own view's background (which happens to be flat black)?
You could use the UIBarStyleBlack .barStyle, or set the .tintColor to black, or set the .translucent to YES.
However, there's no documented way to change the background image of a search bar.
You may use a UITextField with a custom .background and .leftView to simulate the look of a UISearchBar.
