SleekButton is a drop-in class replacing the boring default UIButton..

• maybe you like Left-to-Right gradients:

• maybe you don't like shadows:

• maybe you do like shadows, but prefer a diagonal gradient...:

• You can also animate the title, so that your user gets feedback, when the button is hit:

• (Tip: disable button highlighting / set button style to 'custom' instead of 'system')

Basically every advantage* SleekButton has over the default UIButton, can be configured and edited.

//set the Gradient Colors. Per default SleekButton's gradient is created with two colors, 
//gradientLightColor and gradientDarkColor - the gradient is always flowing from light to dark. 
//You can easily add your own gradient though. SleekButton's layer is of type CAGradientLayer. 
//So it is super easy to override the defaults and manage the gradient yourself.
self.completeProfileButton.gradientLightColor = UIColor.blackColor;
self.completeProfileButton.gradientDarkColor = UIColor.lightGrayColor;

//there are 5 gradient styles. The default is SleekGradientNoGradient, which, obviously, draws no gradient at all
self.completeProfileButton.gradientStyle = SleekGradientLeftToRight;

//you can easily configure if a cornerRadius should be drawn and what cornerRadius should be set. 
//Default is no corner, so remember to set the cornerRadius and allow SleekButton to draw corners. 
//We don't want to live in a squared world
self.completeProfileButton.shouldDrawCornerRadius = YES;
self.completeProfileButton.cornerRadius = 11.0f;

//set if you want the predefined drop shadow to be drawn (color is the same as gradientDarkColor, 
//it looks really good, I promise)
//you can always add your own shadow as well though
self.completeProfileButton.shouldDrawDropShadow = YES;

//set if you want that super fancy title expanding / shrinking (yes, yes, you want it)
self.completeProfileButton.shouldAnimateTitle = YES;

*(it's really just more fancy)
