Question

I have this code for when the user presses a button:

SettingsViewController *settingsViewController = [[SettingsViewController alloc] init];
    WEPopoverController *popover = [[WEPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:settingsViewController];
    [popover setDelegate:self];
    [popover presentPopoverFromRect:settingsWheel.frame
                             inView:self.view
           permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp
                           animated:YES];
    [popover setPopoverContentSize:CGSizeMake(150, 200)];

Then in settings view controller, I have this:

- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
    self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
    if (self) {


        self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blueColor];
        self.contentSizeForViewInPopover = CGSizeMake(150, 200);
    }
    return self;
}

But for some unknown reason, it’s only showing the blue square of the background and not the arrowhead, or rounded corners.

Any ideas how I get it to show these?

Below is the code for appearing the Popover (i have taken from WEPopoverTableView class on github)

UIViewController *contentViewController = [[WEPopoverContentViewController alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewStylePlain];

CGRect frame = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath].frame;

self.popoverController = [[[WEPopoverController alloc] initWithContentViewController:contentViewController] autorelease];
[self.popoverController presentPopoverFromRect:frame 
                                            inView:self.view 
                          permittedArrowDirections:UIPopoverArrowDirectionDown|UIPopoverArrowDirectionUp
                                          animated:YES];

currentPopoverCellIndex = indexPath.row;
[contentViewController release];
