UITableViewController bg color reset after adding to Tab Bar

[fvc]

Previously, I loaded my UITableViewController upon loading the application at start. I customized the color of the text, separator, bg color, etc and it all worked fine.

When I modified the delegate to add this view to a tab bar, the background color comes up as the default white. All of my other settings though (like white text, blue highlight on click) are sticking (so I have white text on a white bg).

The set background color code is in viewDidLoad and I just tried viewDidAppear, any ideas?

Are you sure the background color opacity of your tableview/table cells is not 0?

I will check this thanks, I'm also noticing that I never set any cell background color, just highlight color, text color, etc.

What is the proper cell background color property?

Ok so the alpha is 1, so that shouldn't be an issue.

To be more specific, the backgroundColor I was setting was the UITableView in viewDidLoad or viewDidAppear. And now that I look more closely, none of these settings (separatorColor, etc) took place. Other code such as navbar title in this method did get executed however.

When I click a cell though, it does apply the highlight cell color I have in the configure cell method.
