iOS - Setting UIButton background color only colors the corners

Question

I\'m trying to customize my button by changing their colors, but when I use either:

self.loginButton.layer.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0 green:         


        

Answer 1

I discovered this almost by accident:

self.loginButton.tintColor = [UIColor redColor];

Definitely works and has been available since iOS 2.0.
