Is there a way you can turn off Icon glow in IOS? it seems to mar some icons.
If you mean the glossy effect for your application's icon - you can turn this off in XCode:
In the Resources folder you should have a file called <appname>-info.plist
where <appname> is the name of your app ;-)
Select this file and you'll get a list of settings
Find the setting marked Icon already includes gloss effect and change it to YES
This will stop it from adding the gloss effect
Great. Thanks Kevin
In the IOS Exporter help file:
" Please note that the device will automatically add the reflection effect, so you do not need to add such an effect (or your application will be rejected by Apple). Your icon must be "flat"
means this, i should not switch off the gloss effect in Xcode ?
No, just create icons without this effect, since Xcode applies it (if you like).
Some icons just look plain bad with the added reflection effect so I believe Apple does have some exceptions for this rule (or they might have changed their policy over time).
Aha ..... OK :)
I always remove the gloss effect, I think it ruins pretty much any design. If I want an icon to be glossy I add the gloss myself because I like to be in full control of it...
Hm is there something else you need to do? I have set this option to YES, but still i always gets a glossy icon?
I have it to YES like in this screenshot. still gloss is on, what is wrong? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-13_150540.png
