Change the (backgound?) color behind a flipping view?

Question

I have 2 views which transition into each other using the ...

[UIView setAnimationTransition:UIAnimationTransitionFlipFromLeft forView:self.view cache:YES]

My views both have a black background and when they flip over the colour underneath is white. I want to change this to something else. How do I do this? I have tried searching but I am not really sure which search terms to use.

Any suggestions would be great

Answer 1

I think what you are looking for is changing the background color of your application window (which is visible between the flipside views). You can do this

• either in the Interface Builder in the MainWindow.xib, Tab 1 of the Inspector

• or in code with

  window.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor];

Answer 2

thanks! Very anti-intuitive. I'd think the superview's background color would show but I'd be wrong ;)
