Custom UIKit Controls

The theme is filled with all the standard controls but with a twist. No more standard controls. All are designed to catch the eye and give greater meaning for their functionality.

Switches

Designed with a glowing color for when turned on, they also animate the center of the thumb image to give it a unique glow. No more dull handles on your switches.

Choose Your Own Colours

We have got a free app that you can use to change the theme’s colours to your own. Download the app and the tutorial here

Progress bar with progress indicator

Even More Custom Elements

What about the glowing slider and segmented control? Controls that don’t glow can be boring at times. The slider also has a bigger handle for better functionality.

Aluminium themed buttons

The aluminium themed buttons give your app that industrial look and feel.

Themed lists

The most used element in the iOS apps is also themed to give a better integration in the app and to focus the attention of the user on the data that is displayed.

Custom Navigation and Tab bars

Stay as close to the guidelines as possible, but differentiate your app from the others with the metal finish that sets the stage for the whole app.

    This is awesome, a really beautiful design. I love the look of the navigation bars, which is greatly supported by the background images. Phantastic!

    Hi Tope

    I especially like the illuminated centre of the slider and the On/Off buttons. It’s those little touches that non-designers like us would have never of thought of but when we see them we think…GENIUS.

    Love the green and the metallic effect as well. The typical circular brushed appearance visible at the center of the button is another wicked touch that just makes your designs must haves.

    Keep up the good work.

      Hi Ant.. Yeah, the best part is you don’t even need to say where you got the designs from. Just smile when people say.. “nice app”. and be the cool kid on the block :-)

  8. Sacha says:

    Hi Tope,
    I really love the “little holes” on the background. That makes it special.
    A second thing I also like is the button in a metal texture. I always loved this.
    And also, the combination of green and black is very good, but I think there’s to much black on the screen. It makes the app appear as a (very dark) app, so I’d advise you to put less black and put more of grey, or green etc.
    Hope it helps,
    Sacha

    #
    • tope says:

      Yep.. that’s why it is called Gunmetal.. and we popped hold in it:-)… Well, the black is really what makes it stand out. But yeah. maybe we will do a less dark theme in the future.

    Thanks Tope for that gorgeous design template. I really appreciate your work and I am always looking forward to get a new version of your newsletter. I love your advice and your experiences as an developer/designer that you are offering to your customers. This is especially useful for young App developers like me who are not as much experienced in designing Ui Elements or improving the user experience as professionals might be.

    I would love to use one of your design templates for improving my own app.
    Relating to your question about my own opinion about your new template, I can say that i really like the way you did the UISliders. They really fit perfectly in rest of your UI. Furthermore, the combination of your Color selection (Black/Green) enriches the appearance of the app a lot, because it helps the user to focus on the content.
    The only thing I did not like about the new template is the new silver button. From my point of view, that one doesn’t fit into the rest of the design.

    Best regards

    Andreas, a 20 year old App developer from Germany.

    • tope says:

      Hallo Andreas. Wie laueft’s? Eine twanzigjaehrige App developer. Man, you did start early….

      Thanks for your kind words. I will take a look at that silver button again.

  10. Peter says:

    Very nice, great work.. There are so many apps out now, it’s really up to the UI to make an app stand out.

    Very inspiring work.. :)

    • tope says:

      True… That is a very good way of setting yourself apart. Thanks Peter..

    This is great!!!
    I talked to my partner. The theme fits. We are going to use it on our current project.

    #
    • tope says:

      Great to hear that!.. The colour can also be changed using the Color switcher. so you should be good to go

      #
  12. Greg says:

    Wow. That’s a killer! I love the way the colors POP and how incredibly tactile it looks. You can practically feel the cold metal under your fingertips. Awesome.

    Can’t wait to see this running on the iPhone 8 with full touchscreen haptics support ;-)

    But until then, this one is doing a beautiful job of fooling the eye. I’m working on a BT sensor app that this would be perfect for!

    Great work.

  13. Siegfried says:

    This is an amazing theme, i like the glowing slider. If you can make the same theme with blue instead of green color, this would be great too!

    #
  14. Patrick Crask says:

    It rocks, that’s the way you roll. An app with that look will sell if all it does is flip screen

  15. Pablo70 says:

    Hey, what’s not to like, it had lime green and brushed aluminum – a winner in my eyes!
    I’m actually planning a new app at the moment, can’t say too much, but the colors in the Gunmetal theme are perfect and fresh for it!

    Great work!

    #
  16. Dan Martyn says:

    I like the darkness of the theme along with the metal components. Going to make my app look amazing!

    #
  17. Michael says:

    I gotta say, as with most of the other themes I’ve looked at on or site, this is fantastic work. It really looks amazing and it will work very well for a project I’ve had sitting on my virtual shelf for a few months. I think I’ll finally start it with this theme.

    Thanks for the amazing work!

  18. Alan says:

    I like everything on this template with two small quibbles:

    1. The silver button – I think that the metal gradient look could be less glossy. It just looks too flashy or something. Just my opinion though.
    2. The black button with silver text – same thing,from the rolling screenshot at the top, it looks like the silver text has the same flashy metallic look. Maybe flatten it a slight touch.

    Other than that, I love it! It’s very modern looking. :)

    #
    • Alan says:

      For #2, maybe it just looks that way in the top rolling screenshot because I don’t see it in the lower one that you can zoom in on.

      #
      • Alan says:

        …and when I say flatten it a bit. I mean flatten in a glossy vs. flat sense. -Not from a 3D perspective. ;)

    You outdo yourself every time. Having purchased a couple of your kits and snagged every piece of free action you so generously offer, I would like to say what I appreciate about all of them(and by the way, this one looks like the best yet).
    I should premise this by saying that I am a designer, through and through. Sure, I would like to be that all-powerful designer-developer master breed “when I grow up” but for now I’m coming at creation from the design perspective while I make feeble but rewarding attempts at creative js libraries,jquery web apps and delve into Arduino-flavoured c++(mmm, Italian). Needless to say, I’ve made a bunch of UI kits myself, and consumed a few dozen others and this absolutely stands alone, in a class of its own because (1) you CREATE a new interface, while it seems that most are struggling to reproduce what Apple put on the market months ago(why bother, y’know?), (2) they are complete: a full working app’s worth of, well, everything. (3)Not only that, but you throw in an actual working app as example. Now maybe it’s just my non-dev nature, but this excites me to no end! I might not be able to build an XCode project from scratch, but I can come up with a cclever twist on something that you provide that might not have a place on the market but certainly on my iPad.
    Oooh, sorry about my novella-length comment(you’re welcome to edit it down), but I wannted to show my appreciation and hopefully get in on that hotness tomorrow. I’m sure I’ll end up buying it down the road, but when you give out one of your million–dollar freebies, I’m on it like gunmetal on your buttons. Can’t wait to try it on my own. Thanks Tope!

    #
    • tope says:

      LOL,yeah that was an epic comment, yes.. But thanks for posting. Don’t we all want that designer-Dev superhero ability. That is a great skill to have but until then.. These templates are the closest thing to reality:-)

      Thanks for your kind words..

    This a great theme – completely different to anything that is out there.

    It looks like it will be another winner.

    That looks like the iCloud theme I have been trying to find for I while now. It is one of the most polished themes I have ever seen and I hope to use it when I learn to code for ios. :D

    #
  23. Giordano says:

    This Template is fantastic!!!!
    I love everything about it! The only thing that I would change is that on the Navigation Bar I prefer to have rounded top corners (as in the Ocean theme) but except for that is really perfect to me!

    #
  24. sunilsharmax says:

    This the best theme so far.

    The best things are the grey button, the background texture, and then texture on the Navigation bars.

    How about a Monochrome theme next?

    Regards.

  25. Alexandre says:

    Hi,
    This new gunmetal design is amazing. I love the black holed background. The glossy alert pop up looks really cool on it. The holed metal control looks fantastic. And the high contrast color zone fits really well.
    Great job !
    Just add a lcd font and this would make an alarm clock app look fantastic. With hundred thousands of app in the AppStore, it is Important to have a great design.

    By the way, I look forward to see the new pull up component. It looks great ;-)

  26. Robson says:

    Hi Tope! Nice job again. These great designs are helping me a lot!

    For the GunMetal, I really like the carbon background. I think I never saw any app with similar design.
    About the Premium Member, I think that the 3 months will be mine! Thanks!! ;)
    If no, tomorrow will be the purchasing day…

    Cheers to our success!

    Hi Tope,
    Just purchased the theme, well I downloaded it for free with my premium membership!!
    Not sure if this is where I should post comments on the theme like this but I think I found a bug.
    When on the iPad in landscape view, the Alert is still in Portait view.

    So far everything else looks great!

    Thanks!

    Love it, I’ve been re-skinning one of the themes from my current app with this and it looks fantastic.

    Don’t know if anyone mentioned this but you’ve got two different spellings of aluminium in the slices, I had fun figuring out why the image file wouldn’t load!

    Looks great Tope, does this include the partially hidden view similar to Socioville? The icon in the navigation bar makes it look like it does.
