I checked out iPhone: How can I make a UITextField invisible but still clickable?

I checked out iPhone: How can I make a UITextField invisible but still clickable?, but the OP has something else going on and the answers didn’t seem to help me out of my fix.

I have a UITextField in which the user has to enter text. Instead of the standard UITextField graphic, I want to use a lovely graphic that’s been designed for that purpose. The user would still need to be able to enter text and see the text s/he’s entering, but I need the textfield to be invisible so that the graphic can show from underneath it.

How can I do this? Or is there another way to do what I’m after?

    Adding my comment as an answer. You can try this,

    [textField setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]]; 
    

    And then set the border style as UITextBorderStyleNone.
