How does one set the UITableView Section border color? I have tried and cant seem to change it. its default is white, I want to set it to a gray color.
The white color is because the separator style is set to Single Line Edged. If you change it to Single Line the white lines will disappear. Not sure if that solves your problem but I don't think you change the color without doing a lot more work.
I believe what Apple uses for its contact heading is tableView:viewForHeaderInSection: for section 0, instead of a cell in the first section. You can still specify a transparent background and the pinstripe will show behind it. The border will not be there as grouped table view section headers do not have borders.
Whether you built your custom cell in Interface Builder or using code, it should be a fairly trivial task to migrate those views from a UITableViewCell to a UIView for use with tableView:viewForHeaderInSection:.
I don't know if you'll be able to keep the Details title for, say, section 1, unless you make a label containing that word and add it to the section 0 header view manually.
Finally if all the above advise didnt help then check this link out.

I am modifying a pdf by adding some text data. I would like to put a yellow background or highlight to the added text. I am using contentStream.showText(). Is it possible ? I thought there is some setBackGroundColor for text. Seems like its not there. I could do it by adding rectangle. Looking for some more clean implementation
Any help is really appreciated!

I searched a lot about this, couldn't find an answer and I am stuck with this problem for some days already.
I have a UITableView with 3 sections, each one with custom cells (xib). The first section must grow accordingly with one of its labels.
The second one is static, it shows up just an static image and basic height.
The third one is like a comment cell, with UIImageView, labels etc. One of this labels must grow till a limit height.
I managed to show the 3 custom cells, but the first and the second one (which are not static height), show only partially. If I set manually the Height of the row I can see it entirely, but all section cells grow and it is not what I need.
The constraints to auto layout, I keep getting some conflicts but could not find any solution, tried to debug the view stack, no success.
Custom Cell
Constraints of custom cell
Can anyone help me or point me to a direction?
Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem. I solved it like this. Set tableView estimatedRowHeight to minimum row height. Set tableView rowHeight to UITableViewAutomaticDimension.
1) For dynamic cell height - Give the label leading, trailing, top, bottom and height greater than equals to minimum height.
2) For fixed cell height - Give the label leading, trailing, top, bottom and height equals to fixed height whatever you wanted.
By this your dynamic height cells will grow and fixed ones will be fixed. If you did not get what i said then post a sample project with just this custom implementation on git or somewhere else. I will correct it.
Thank you.
I have some difficult time in creating iOS screen to match with visual design provided by design team.
The design team has provided the spacing info for each screen which shows how much space each text needs to be apart from other UI element on the screen. This is attached for your reference. You can see here that the two text labels "Activate Your Account" and "A Verification link...." are placed apart by 25px.
The same thing I am trying to achieve in the storyboard. I am attaching the storyboard screen snapshot for reference.
From this you can see that I cannot keep exactly 25px b/w the two text labels because for the following issue
The text font is custom font and I cannot load the same in storyboard. I have added the font file in the project, but when I try to open it in storyboard for UILabel, it doesn't list out. I am not sure why xcode doesn't show up. This makes me hard to resize the label's frame. If I try to decrease the empty space in the label (upper and lower part of the text), this will make label height less, but when I set the font programmatically, it doesn't fit in this small space.
When I try to increase the height of the label, the text inside the label starts displaying at the center leaving space at the top and bottom of the label frame.
So I want to know how to solve this problem. If anyone had this issues and sorted out, please let me know how to fix this.
Many Thanks
Your designers aren't speccing their designs correctly :) Show them how iOS renders text and have them spec their designs in the same way. This is what we do on the Facebook design team. I mocked up an example for you (each square is 4dp/8px).

How would I go about setting a custom background image for a UITableView. The wrench in the works is that the table is a grouped style (rounded top corners for the first cell and rounded bottom corners for the last cell). I would like do this as much in code as possible without relying on images too much.
Ideally, here is the solution, but I have no idea if this will work or not:
Create one custom background image
Apply the same custom background image to every cell
Rounding occurs automatically because it is a Grouped table style
Profit.
Is this how it works (besides the profit part... I am an app developer, after all)? Do I need to re-think my approach or is this possible? How would do what I described (or another approach) in code specific to iOS 5+?
Update
Just to clarify a bit, the main question I'm asking is: Does the rounding still occur on the top and bottom cells even if you are using a rectangular image?
Well I think what you are saying is ok, but I suggest creating a unique cell layout in a .nib file and apply there the background. Then, with initWithNibName you can manage every cell at the UITableView's methods on the ViewController.
I have a NSSearchField and I want to change its background color but i am not able to do it i tried out few things:
1) I tried to set DrawBackground TRUE and then setBackgroundColor but the value of DrawBackGround is always False either I try to set it trough code or Nib.(i don't know why?)
2)I tried out setting NSText's BackgroundColor but it is not looking good because it is not covering whole NSSearchField the extreme corners where the small search icon and cancel icon is present are left uncolored.
3)I want the searchField to have the color of the view it is lying so i decreased the alpha value of the searchField which looks good but the alpha value of text is also decreased so is there any way to make text's alpha value to remain always 1.
Thanks :)
If you look at the documentation, Apple prevents background color rendering for rounded-rectangle fields:
"In order to prevent inconsistent rendering, background color rendering is disabled for rounded-bezel text fields."
https://developer.apple.com/library/prerelease/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSTextField_Class/#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSTextField/setDrawsBackground:
NSSearchField is extension of NSTextField, NSTextField again extension of NSView,
Not sure, but its possible to make a custom clas and overwrite drawRect function and paint with the background color.
