Can the collection view use a gray tint color when disabled? about mbcontactpicker HOT 3 CLOSED

Oops, turns out this is just confusion based on the example. I needed to set the tint color on the instance itself, which is possible, though the example seemed to imply it was a class-level property.

UIView.tintColor is a new property in iOS7. If a view doesn't have its own tintColor set, it will traverse up the view hierarchy until it finds a non-default color, otherwise, it falls back to the system default. Thats why setting the tintColor at the MBContactPicker level works even thought we didn't add any special code to do so. See https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/uikit/reference/uiview_class/UIView/UIView.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006816-CH3-SW215 for more info.

You do bring up an interesting point regarding the disabled state, I didn't think about that from a coloring standpoint. Though I feel like your solution is probably the best (just manually change the tintColor after disabling) versus trying to make the picker intelligent about to how to present a disabled "look".

Thanks for the link, it is always good to brush up on new features of UIView. And I agree, probably best to leave these appearance choices to the picker user; they may want to set its tintAdjustmentMode to UIViewTintAdjustmentModeDimmed rather than changing the color, for example.
