Xcode4 introduced the gray-rounded-square style non-modal alerts that momentarily appear as required. For an example, see ‘Build Succeeded’. iirc, this style of non-modal alert is also used elsewhere in Lion.
Now, also iirc, I believe I saw some official iPhone sample code showing how they recommend this effect is achieved in iPhone Apps, but I can’t find it again. I’d like to use in my App this to achieve a consistent style.
If someone recalls what I’m talking about, I’d appreciate a link. Thanks.
I think you’re talking about the bezel notification style? On iOS, I know SSToolkit has support for such a display (under HUD View).
Another way: This uses MBProgressHUD and provides sample code.
