This unfortunately is not gonna happen. :pensive: For several reasons.

  1. The layouting logic of DLAlertView in its current state is already way too complex. I thus strongly oppose making any major changes to it (other than for the sake of fixing bugs).
  2. DLAlertView does not use AutoLayout, making it unnecessarily difficult to keep up with Apple's future framework changes (compatibility with multi-tasking in iOS 9 being one such example).
  3. And last but not least the killer: UIAlertView has been deprecated since iOS 8 and is gone with iOS 9.

In the words of John Cleese:

"This parrot is no more it has ceased to be. It's expired and gone to meet its maker. This is a late parrot. It's a stiff. Bereft of life, it rests in peace."

You should thus consider DLAlertView depredated and discontinued. (I simply haven't yet found the time to update the README appropriately.)

One should—for one's own good—use UIAlertController instead. Nobody will hinder you from forking this project and adding whatever you feel fancy for, but I wouldn't advise going against the flow if one can help it.
