Here is a cool utility we just developed and the best part of it is we are giving it to you as a free download.
Up until now, some of the templates on the Vault come with a colour/color switcher (call it whatever you want. I hate it when auto-complete tries to trick me).
The other templates did not have a colour switcher because, to be frank, we were lazy to build it in every time.
So we decided to make our first Mac OS app.

Here is an example of how you can use it to tweak your app to your taste. I let it loose on the Moments template and this is what I got in 10 minutes.

Many thanks goes to Ary Tebeka (of the World Drugs fame) for putting the idea in my head. Thanks, Ary!
Wow, what a great idea. Thanks again Tope! You are the Jedi Master of App Designs! I’m going to try this baby later and I’ll let you know how it worked out.
Let me know how you get on, Tony. Looking forward to the feedback

hi
it’s look nice but can you add version to mac os 10.6.8
thanks
Oh… ok will take a look at that. Thanks for letting me know
WOW! Great work. I just bought 4 of your themes and will be using the Color Switcher to customize your templates.
Please keep up the good work.
Thanks,
John
Great John.. As usuaal, please send me an email when those babies are ready. I would love to see them
As always, Tope you continue to impress!
Awesome application, Tope! I will definitely try it out to create some new looks.
Thanks for all the support you give us app folks!

Hi Tope,
this is great. I thought about developing this on my own, because I didn’t want to include the ColorSwitcher in my app.
Feature Request: Could you add a Color Picker, please? This would allow for picking a color of the app icon in order to align colors of the app and the icon. You can do so by using the Apple Color Picker but integrating a picker in the app would be huge!
BR,
Hartmut
Great idea!
I would love this to work with my purchased templates.
But also using the Moments template, doing exaclty the same as you, when I click on start, the ColorSwitcher app simply goes blank and nothing happens.
I have just found out that all your paths (source and modified folder) must not contain spaces. Otherwise the app doesn’t process the images.
Thanks a lot for providing this!
Thanks for the heads-up, Kay. We will take a look at this.
Great, thanks for sharing.. very useful….
Thank you very much, this is terrific – btw – “Choose diferent color” on the last screen should be “Choose different color”.
Thanks, that’s Great. Very useful
Tope,
Awesome tool man! Thanks for the design resources, tools and tips keep it flowing.
Very Nice!
Thank you very much! This tools make me really easy because I poor in design.
Great idea and nice implementation. It would be also useful to automatically rename images so that we can provide the end user with several themes to choose from.
[UIImage imageNamed:
[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", themePrefix, imageName]];
really useful app… I’m trying to implement it on the app, so it should let the user easily theme their app. the thing its that I’m clueless where to start, so do you any suggestion to enlighten me? thanks.
Does anyone know where i can get ipad web app templates which can highlight the features of ipad like swipe, showcasing the company’s products.
Really clean web page, many thanks for this write-up.
Excellent! And perfect timing too…I was just about to send an email about how to change colors from default without going into each one, one by one. You rock!
Color switcher is very nice, it saves heaps of time to developers. Thanks alot, you are legend
