\nTOKYO (MacHouse) – If you ask me whether or not I like Swift<\/strong> as a software development language, you won’t get a flat answer of Yes or No from me. This language is so bad that it can be terribly difficult to type just a few letters if you already have a few thousand lines of code. Or is it just me? Anyway, I’m ready to introduce a second application that I’ve developed in Swift. This new software release is called Oh My Gradient<\/strong>. I submitted it to Mac App Store<\/strong> just several minutes ago.

\nOh My Gradient is a desktop application for software developers who use CAGradientLayer<\/strong> to display gradient colors with NSView<\/strong> or UIView<\/strong>. It lets you design gradient colors with your mouse and generate Objective-C or Swift code for your OS X (or iOS) projects at the same time. Oh My Gradient generates code for dictionary objects with color and location keys for every color stop.

      \nVersion history<\/u><\/p>\n

      Version 1.0.5 (Released on November 10)<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. The application could crash due to the last changes made for the C-style for-loop statement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        <\/br><\/p>\n

        Version 1.0.4 (Released on September 1)<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Many lines of code are fixed for Swift 3 compatibility.<\/li>\n
        2. Another push button now appears to the right of the copy button when the user opens the code popover window at the bottom-left corner of the window. When the user clicks on this button, the application will create a float list of gradient color values, which will be copied into the shared clipboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          <\/br><\/p>\n

          Version 1.0.2 (Released on August 22)<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Fix: Preview did not change when the user selected a different color with the selection color button.\n
          2. Changes: By default, the user will be prompted for confirmation when clicking on the delete (-) button to delete the selected marker.<\/li>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
