UITableView backgroundColor always white on iPad

Question

I\'m working on a project. I have plenty of UITableViews which are set as clear color. Their views\' background color are set to my custom color and everything

Answer 1

I have a transparent table view with semi-transparent table view cells. I set the table view background color to clear when I create the table. This works for all iOS/device combinations except iPad + iOS 8, where the background color remains white.

For me, setting the cell's background color to semi-transparent and the content view background color to clear works, since I do it on each tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath). The problem for me was only that the table view background remained white.

I tried all combinations that I did find regarding this issue, but the only thing I actually needed to to was to set the table views background to transparent on each tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath). Not super-intuitive, but at least it works. :P
