Unable to set transparent autocompleteTableView background

[A1exandre]

Hi all,

I'm trying to set a transparent color to the AutoCompleteTableView. I did:

• self.autoCompleteTableBackgroundColor = UIColor.redColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.2)
• self.autoCompleteTableCellBackgroundColor = UIColor.redColor().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.2)

Unfortunately this does not work as there seems to be a white background behind the tableview

I tried the following things without success:

• autoCompleteTableView.backgroundColor
• self.autoCompleteTableView.backgroundView!.backgroundColor

There must be something with the view hierarchy that I don't get. Any ideas?
