iOS 7 styled notification view

[zetachang]

iOS 7 got a new style of notification view, any plan on having a new look for new OS ?

Of course, but I still get my head around the new animation. I can't tell if it's a simple slide or something more complicated is going on.

This is not a high priority though, I'm sure we'll see some changes there until the release.

Now that the builds seem to be more stable and final, as far as I can tell the new system notifications have a black background with some transparency and blur effect going on. The animation itself seems to be a simple slide. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

MPNotificationView will default to the old style on older systems and use the new style on iOS 7 only.

Cool, really looking forward to it!

For the blur effect, I think this may help :smiley_cat:

I'd like to see this done, too!

I found some time to hack on this today. It's not perfect yet but it's a start: https://github.com/ekurutepe/MPNotificationView/commit/8417fb997fc32e78c39a187dc8fe6e5ad49d679d

@zetachang I used the idea from the link you mentioned but did not bother to steal the layer. I just use a UIToolbar instance as the background view in a notification. :)

Hi, it looks great! But it it necessary the height of notification view to be 60 point? Since in the system notification view, the extra space is used to contain a hand hold which is used to reveal the notification center. Here is an example,

[euanlau]

 // If your app is running in legacy mode, tintColor will be nil - else it must be set to some color.
if (UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow) {
    isUIKitFlatMode = [UIApplication.sharedApplication.keyWindow performSelector:@selector(tintColor)] != nil;
}else {
    // Possible that we're called early on (e.g. when used in a Storyboard). Adapt and use a temporary window.
    isUIKitFlatMode = [[UIWindow new] performSelector:@selector(tintColor)] != nil;
}
