Hi!

I'm trying to set the label backgroundColor of my UITableViewCells and it does absolutely nothing at all. I wonder if there's another way of doing this, so I'm asking!

I tried this:

    cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

And it doesn't work, anything else?

Thanks!
