If you prefer not to use CocoaPods or Carthage, you can integrate BetterSegmentedControl into your project manually.

Usage

let control = BetterSegmentedControl(
    frame: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 100.0, width: view.bounds.width, height: 44.0),
    titles: ["One", "Two", "Three"],
    index: 1,
    backgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.11, green:0.12, blue:0.13, alpha:1.00),
    titleColor: .whiteColor(),
    indicatorViewBackgroundColor: UIColor(red:0.55, green:0.26, blue:0.86, alpha:1.00),
    selectedTitleColor: .blackColor())
control.titleFont = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 14.0)!
control.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.controlValueChanged(_:)), forControlEvents: .ValueChanged)
view.addSubview(control)

You can find different ways of using it (such as by designing it in a Storyboard file) in the example project. To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first.
