Using the views

CBToolkit is designed to help you creat great UIs without extra code. Thanks to IBDesignables many visual effects can me set right in the storyboard. Simple drop the appropriate UIKit element (UIView, UIButton, UIImageView...) into your view controller and change the class to the CB- equivilent.

For example, to add a CBProgressView just drop in a UIVIew, open the attributes inspector in the right utilities panel and set the class to CBProgressView. The custom properties will now be available right along side the standard backgroundColor and such.

And if you really have the urge to type, you can always create CBToolkit views progamatically just like anything else.
