SwiftUI List Background color [duplicate]

Answer 1

iOS 14

In iOS 14, you may consider using LazyVStack instead of list for this:

ScrollView {
    LazyVStack {
        ForEach((1...100), id: \.self) {
            Text("Placeholder \($0)")
        }
    }
    .background(Color.yellow)
}

Keep in mind that LazyVStack is lazy and doesn't render all rows all the time. So they are very performant and suggested by Apple itself in WWDC 2020.

All SwiftUI's Lists are backed by a UITableViewin iOS. so you need to change the background color of the tableView. But since Color and UIColor values are slightly different, you can get rid of the UIColor.

struct ContentView: View {
    
    init() {
        UITableView.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear // tableview background
        UITableViewCell.appearance().backgroundColor = .clear // cell background
    }

    var body: some View {
        List {
            ,,,
        }
        .background(Color.yellow)
    }
}

Now you can use Any background (including all Colors) you want

Note that those top and bottom white areas are safe are and you can use .edgesIgnoringSafeArea() modifier to get rid of them.
