One of the ObjC examples could be more concise. He writes: id navigationBar = [UINavigationBar appearance]; [navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav-background.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; [navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:[[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys: [UIFont cheddarFontWithSize:24.0f], UITextAttributeFont, [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0f alpha:0.4f], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor, [UIColor whiteColor], UITextAttributeTextColor, nil]]; which could be id navigationBar = [UINavigationBar appearance]; [navigationBar setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"nav-background.png"] forBarMetrics:UIBarMetricsDefault]; [navigationBar setTitleTextAttributes:@{ UITextAttributeFont : [UIFont cheddarFontWithSize:24], UITextAttributeTextShadowColor : [UIColor colorWithWhite:0 alpha:0.4], UITextAttributeTextColor : [UIColor whiteColor], }]; as compares to the Ruby, navigationBar = UINavigationBar.appearance navigationBar.setBackgroundImage(UIImage.imageNamed('nav-background.png'), forBarMetrics: UIBarMetricsDefault) navigationBar.setTitleTextAttributes({ UITextAttributeFont: UIFont.cheddarFontWithSize(24.0), UITextAttributeTextShadowColor: UIColor.colorWithWhite(0.0, alpha:0.4), UITextAttributeTextColor: UIColor.whiteColor }) Also kind of wondering where he got "cheddarFont". :-)
