Question

I have this table:

How do I get rid of the boxes behind the text?

This is my current code:

    UIColor *CellColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.7 alpha:0.2];
    cell.backgroundColor = CellColor;

    cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryDisclosureIndicator;

    cell.textLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:16.0];
    cell.textLabel.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentRight;
    cell.textLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    cell.detailTextLabel.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:10.0];
    cell.detailTextLabel.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];

    cell.textLabel.text = @"Title text...";
    cell.detailTextLabel.text = @"Subtitle text...";

Answer 1

Default background color for a UILabel is white. So this is normal.

If you want a transparent background, you need to use:

cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [ UIColor clearColor ];

And same for detailTextLabel
