Don’t set the background color when the cell is created as the color is controlled at that point by the table. Rather implement the delegate method and set the background color there. Very easy this way.

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
if (indexPath.row == 1) {
[cell setBackgroundColor:[UIColor yellowColor]];
}
}

Just create new UIView, set it as table cell backgroundView and use backgroundColor of this UIView.

Did you manage to do this as I am trying to do the same.

Existing code:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];

I am trying to replace the background colour with a picture.
Thanks for any help

Is anything besides setting the background to another color? Like setting the background to a certain image? Just like themes…
