Suggestion #11
Description
Hey, I'd just like to say first that this is a fantastic control. Thanks for building it!
In my own personal branch, I've changed all the UILabels you've been using to UIButtons. The reason for this is I wanted to support images instead of text.
Why did I choose UIButton? Well, mostly for laziness, but also convenience. UIButton acts similarly to UILabel (it contains one), but also contains an image view as well as a background image view. In addition, image view + label layout is automatically handled. This is a convenience for people who might want image + text.
What about tint color? Well, there's a method on UIImage, imageWithRenderingMode, where you can set the property UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate which will ignore color values of the original image and apply any given UIColor to any non-0-alpha part of the image.
My version currently has no API changes, as the support is mostly just shoehorned on there. However, If you would like, I can submit a PR. You'll have to tell me what you want though, as I can do one of two things:
change the default initializers to something like
- (instancetype)initWithStringsArray:(NSArray *)strings andImageStringsArray:(NSArray *)imageStrings;
if users don't want a part, they can pass nil for any given argument, or selectively pass [NSNull null] for any index in the arrays.
Or add an additional initializer for both regular strings and attributed string that support images in additional to text.
Let me know!
