I need to change the background of whirlyGlobe to a custom image. can you guide 
me as to how it is to be done?

I imagine you could set the background color to clearColor and just overlay the 
view on a UIImageView.

Incidentally,  I've moved WhirlyGlobe over to github.

Any luck getting this to work?  I tried doing exactly that (use a clearColor 
background and put an image view behind it), and it doesn't seem to work.

BTW, I'm using the WhirlyGlobeComponent, trying to set the 'clearColor' 
property of the WhirlyGlobeViewController class to [UIColor clearColor].  Also 
tried to set the backgroundColor of the controller's view.  Either way, I 
always get a black background.  If I set it to some other color, the background 
will be that color.

Got it to work ... in case anybody else runs into this, in viewDidLoad in 
TestViewController.m, there is this code:

    // Set the background color for the globe
    globeViewC.clearColor = [UIColor blackColor];

Change it to this:

    // Set the background color for the globe
    globeViewC.clearColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    globeViewC.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
    UIView* sv = [globeViewC.view.subviews objectAtIndex:0];
    sv.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

Then put whatever views you need behind globeViewC.view
