To apply a tint to .glassEffect
in a UIKit app, you can create a new UI glass effect and assign a custom tint color. Here's a general approach based on the context provided:
- Create a new UI glass effect.
- Assign a custom tint color to it.
- Animate the effect if needed.
Here's a code snippet to illustrate this:
let glassEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .systemMaterial)
let visualEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: glassEffect)
visualEffectView.tintColor = UIColor.systemBlue // Set your desired tint color
This code sets up a UIVisualEffectView
with a glass effect and applies a tint color to it. You can animate changes to the tint color alongside other properties if needed. For more detailed guidance, you might want to refer to the session Build a UIKit app with the new design (20:38) where they discuss using custom tint colors with glass effects.
