BackgroundColor of UITableViewCellStyleSubtitle labels ??!?
- by P5ycH0
I am trying to create a table with an image as a background.
To achieve this, I started out with the background:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];
This resulted in a background image which appears in tablecells as well. That is not something I want, so I tried to set the cell's backgroundColor:
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
This had no effect at all !!!. Hmmm strange.
So I tried this:
UIView *backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] init];
backgroundView.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
cell.backgroundView = backgroundView;
[backgroundView release];
This works almost. The only problem left is that the textLabel & the detailTextLabel still show the background behind them.
Setting the backgroundColor on those labels to white doesn't do anything either.
How do I proceed? Where do I go wrong? I am trying to achieve a tableView like the worldClock app has.
