A slight update

- (void) drawPlaceholderInRect:(CGRect)rect {
    if (self.useSmallPlaceholder) {
        NSDictionary *attributes = @{
                                 NSForegroundColorAttributeName : kInputPlaceholderTextColor,
                                 NSFontAttributeName : [UIFont fontWithName:kInputPlaceholderFontName size:kInputPlaceholderFontSize]
                                 };

        //center vertically
        CGSize textSize = [self.placeholder sizeWithAttributes:attributes];
        CGFloat hdif = rect.size.height - textSize.height;
        hdif = MAX(0, hdif);
        rect.origin.y += ceil(hdif/2.0);

        [[self placeholder] drawInRect:rect withAttributes:attributes];
    }
    else {
        [super drawPlaceholderInRect:rect];
    }
}
