I can't read this site; (very) light grey on white background is invisible.

Then you probably won't want this stencil, or to use iOS 7 :)

Actually I think it's mainly due to differences in font rendering across platforms. The site is fine in OS X, but the same font is rendered lighter in Windows, and with a lightly stroked sans font, that makes a big difference in legibility.

This is why best font for any web page and application is default font.

The article is from the blog of a Mac only program and it's content is targeted at iOS developers. Windows users aren't remotely in the target market for the article.

I'm a little confused by the "Main action" and "Cancel" buttons. Shouldn't the Cancel button have the red text and not the other way around?
Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by sailer on Monday October 07, 2013 @11:49AM (#6508997)
No worries. I've doubled check on the apple UIKit - https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/UserEx...
Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by Someone on Monday October 07, 2013 @06:07PM (#6511636)
You should only show a dialog before an action that cannot be undone. So, the "not Cancel" button in a dialog should always be destructive, and "Cancel" should always be the safe choice.

Also, Red is the universal color for danger. That's why the action button is red.

'Should' is a matter of debate.. but this does match actual iOS 7.

When I add to the stencil palette in OmniGraffle 4, it ends up super tiny http://imgb.mp/jk2.jpg

Maybe time to reconsider if I use OmniGraffle often enough to pay $50 to upgrade to 6... I don't really need any new features, just to fix all the bugs that have cropped up.

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by ChikkaChiChi on Monday October 07, 2013 @11:53AM (#6509040)
OmniGraffle didn't crash on me until I upgraded to 6, take that for what it's worth.

It's also the first piece of software that makes me feel like a curmudgeon. I don't know how less 'usable' it all feels. Stencils are buried and I stared at the screen for 10 minutes before I was able to do anything.

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by sailer on Monday October 07, 2013 @11:52AM (#6509032)
You should give the trial a go to see if you like it.

It's quite better in my opinion.

The little pointer arrows on the "Select | Select All" and "Select | Select All | Paste" tooltips are a different color from the body of the tooltip.

But it looks really nice overall.

Thanks for the heads up.

Glad you like it!

SVG's of these would be pretty amazing.

Edit: Scratch that. All I see is 4 images in both zip files... I'm confused.

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by sailer on Monday October 07, 2013 @02:23PM (#6510162)
Yea, that doesn't sound right.

Can you give a little more detail on what's happening?

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by xauronx on Monday October 07, 2013 @02:34PM (#6510248)
Um, I might just be stupid I guess. I saw "if you're not using Omnigraffle 6" and took that to mean "If you're not using omnigraffle at all", so then I expected it to be a folder of assets. So if I open the zip file, there's a single folder with 4 images and a plist. I assume that on a mac the .gstencil would open in Omnigraffle, whereas in windows it just opens as a folder.

Anyhow, just operator error I'm sure.

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by sailer on Monday October 07, 2013 @02:52PM (#6510350)
Ahh yes, that is partly my fault. I should've been a bit more clear. The .gstencil is for versions of omnigraffle prior to 6.

Sorry for the confusion.

You can download a trial of omnigraffle 6 and then export the stencil as an .svg

That looks well done. What is the license on it?
Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by sailer on Monday October 07, 2013 @10:42AM (#6508531)
License is free for commercial and personal. Use it however you want.

No need to attribute but I won't complain if you give credit back to NJI Media. Also, Chris at Pixeden did all the line icon work.

Re:iOS 7 UI Stencil for Omnigraffle by ChikkaChiChi on Monday October 07, 2013 @11:59AM (#6509084)
Stencil is very well done, and easy to work with!

Thanks!
