APRoundedButton is a simple XIB/Storyboard extension to make rounded custom buttons, without writing one line of code, now using IBInspectable.

What are IBInspectable?

IBInspectable properties provide new access to an old feature: user-defined runtime attributes.
Currently accessible from the identity inspector, these attributes have been available since before
Interface Builder was integrated into Xcode.

They provide a powerful mechanism for configuring any key-value coded property of an instance in a NIB, XIB, or storyboard.
