Question

I am using monotouch but will accept Objective-C answers.

I’d like a visual indication of whether or not a UIAlertView message is important or not.

I found an Objective-C example of how to show an icon in the alert (somewhere here on stackoverflow) but the text does not wrap around the icon.

Perhaps there is another alternative. Maybe there is a way to change the background color of the alert to yellow?

So my specific question is whether or not there is a standard practice for this or can someone recommend a good solution?

Thanks

Apple’s HIG emphatically suggests that the appearance of an AlertView should be coordinated with the color scheme of the background. The only visual indication that they suggest is the use of the red button for potentially destructive actions. I agree with @MDT that all alerts should be, by definition, important, and non-important messages (e.g. routine status messages), should be presented in some other manner.
