Bigger search bar #2

Closed willhains closed 9 years ago

@gruber

can we make the search bar and text bigger? More like 20pt or 24pt or something instead of 16? Why not since it’s the only input? I tried poking around the storyboard in Xcode but don’t see any way to change that there.

I tried this, but couldn't get it to work. Also, it requires a Swift–ObjC bridge, which would have been more lines of code than the solution I ended up using. It's somewhat hacky, but has the same chance of breaking as the appearance proxy approach, in as much as they both depend on UISearchBar containing a UITextField subclass.

I hope that in the future, iOS exposes more ways to customise UISearchBar. For now, this works.
