- Design iOS NavigationBar and TabBar with Ease -
Gekko is a desktop application that lets you design navigation bars and tab bars for iOS applications with ease. You can use your own image or pick one from a built-in library of 33 texture images to design a navigation bar or a tab bar image. Also, you can create color gradation maps with Gekko to design a UI image. Let Gekko export UI images for both the Retina display and non-Retina display. Use Gekko to generate Objective-C code so that you can reproduce the same looks of an UI image with iPhone Simulator and iOS devices.
