With the introduction of iOS 7 there are a number of resources coming out to aid in helping you add that flat look to your own apps, last week I mentioned a set of flat UI templates, and I also mentioned a library allowing you to create a number of flat user interface elements.
Here’s a library from Jeong Yunwon that aims to provide the iOS 7 look to UIKit elements in iOS 5+ called UI7Kit.
You can easily patch your projects to use UI7Kit and get an idea of how they will look with the new elements – keep in mind this is a new project, and still progressing but there are already a large number of interface elements included.
Here is an image from the readme showing the changes to ioS 5 UIKit elements with UI7Kit
You can find UI7Kit on Github here.
Make sure to follow the instructions on the Github page on how to use the project.
