Xcode 4.5 iOS SDK 6.0 Beta 4 compiled app gives me thin white lines in background - ios6

you all know the blue background with the thin white lines in the iOS "Settings" app. I set a grey background color for all of the views in my app which works as expected. Now when I build the exactly same code with the Xcode 4.5 (4G144l) "Preview"-Version with the iOS 6 beta 4 SDK an let it run on a device with iOS 6 beta 4 or the iPhone 6.0 Simulator my background grey is replaced by this "blue with thin white lines"-style and I have no clue why. No one seems to have this problem. Anyone?
thanx

This problem occurs for all tables that use the UITableViewStyleGrouped style and try to set a background color. A change was made in iOS 6 that causes the background view to be set for these tables, which overrides the background color property. The solution is to clear the background view in the UITableView.
table.backgroundView = nil;

I've had a similar problem, I'm using "[[UITableView appearance] setBackgroundColor:" to change the background images of all the tableviews in the app.
Fixed it by changing the background color of the TableView in the Storyboard from Default to Clear color.

Images become very light

I wonder, icons which already worked in iOS 10 is not working on iOS 11 (image become very light). While compiling through Xcode 8.3.3 is working and with Xcode 9 beta 4 it's become very light. Advice on the same.
I found that images with color description file would show welll but the images without that would show very light. Fix the images which does not have color description will solve your problem even if it is a very heavy work.
info of two images left image shows well ,right image shows very light

different colors on ComboBox

I was testing a ComboBox in my device and I noticed gray stripes that where not there before. The stripes don't show on the simulator.
I changed the UIID for the ComboBox from white to yellow to check if it was the background color, but it is still there.
What am I missing?
It seems like you are running on the nexus skin on the simulator which uses an older native theme as a basis, this is probably the cause of the difference between your device and the Simulator, change your simulator to HTCOne or xoom and you will most likely see these stripes on the simulator as well.
Try to modify the "ComboBoxItem" uiid to be transparent and with an empty border

Textbox and Combo box not showing background color from theme

I have a project in the play store created with version 3.2 at end of October. Today I rebuilt the project to add new features. When I deployed it to Android I noticed the following 4 issues.
1. The push notification icon is a solid white square. It was my icon in the past.
2. The initial screen form is incorrect as it goes into the android soft buttons at the bottom of the page.
3. The theme for my combo box is not showing. Just see thru to background.
4. The text field background is also just using the background instead of the white.
I tried building in latest, 3.2 and 3.1 with no differences. I reverted all code to the release in October with no help.
I submitted the IOS build and everything is fine.
The simulator shows everything is fine.
I tried many times to figure out why this is happening and have not been able to.
I need 10 reputation points to post more than 2 links so, I'm only showing 2 screen shots. Let me know if you want the others.
Please see the following:
This image shows the edit and dropdown issue
This is the current play store version of the edit and dropdown
Any ideas on how can I fix these issues? For the text field I use my own style (it does get the boarder but not the background). The notification icon, I don't see how anything I can do would affect this.
Thank you
Sam
-- Edited --
I did manage to get these working again.
I was setting the background color using the theme background tab and setting a gradient with upper and lower the same color. I changed this to NONE, then in the color tab set the background color.
Notification needed a new icon as specified by Chen. In my case the app icon is basically a square and doesn't transfer well to a notification icon.
The last was the nexus 9 initial screen painting into the bottom navigation control. This is still happening and is easily reproduced by making a new hello world codename one app with no changes.
Are you using the android.asyncPaint=false build hint?
I understand some issues occurred with it although I doubt you would see them if you are using the versioned build.
Setting the background color using the theme background tab and setting a gradient with upper and lower the same color didn't work.
Change this to NONE, then in the color tab set the background color.

Windows 8 Live Tile Icon Background Color

I am developing a WPF application. My customers want to use it on Windows 8 and it's working correctly. But they are complaining me about the background color of the app's icon on Start Screen.
So can you please show me how to change it in Visual Studio or some tricks? I found some tuts on Google to customize it but using tools and I want to make it happen in Installer or Property of project...
Thanks
Change app icon color from the App Manifest file.
Heres the app manifest portion where you can change in the image
In My case the bacground color is #464646 you can change it to any thing you want and update to the users :)
Because of this reason it is always advised by Microsoft to use Transparent Png logo and a uniform background color for app tile.
That background colot of app's icon on Windows 8 is the default behavior of Windows 8. It will display the background color of the app's icon using the "dominant" color of the app's icon. If your icon has dominant color of brown, it will display brown background.
This is also the similar default behavior when hovering mouse on running application's icons on Windows 7's taskbar. To enhance the look, try change the application icon to use neutral colors or light colors instead of dark colors.
Or you can change the icon of your app to use single color's icon (such as white) on transparent background to reflect the flat theme icons of Windows Store apps in Windows 8, or use full rectangle icons as those games in Windows 8.
Example:
There is a similar question and answer: UWP Tile Background Color Not Working by Kasper, but is not specific to Windows 8, for anyone looking for a UWP solution.
As the answer by Anobik states, set the colour in the app manifest page. However, as it was found by Kasper, the value must be set in HEX for it to work as expected.

Windows Phone gray transition frame

I have a problem with gray transition frames in Windows Phone 7.
I am using Silverlight for Windows Phone toolkit and transitions are working fine except for the color. Suddenly, the color of the transitioning frame became gray. For the purposes of my app, I am overriding the app resources, like this:
(App.Current.Resources["PhoneBackgroundBrush"] as SolidColorBrush).Color = Colors.White;
(App.Current.Resources["PhoneForegroundBrush"] as SolidColorBrush).Color = Colors.Black;
When I don't do that, the transition frame is black if the theme on the phone is dark, and it's white if the theme on the phone is white. As it should be.
As soon as I set the resources (background and foreground brush), the transition frame becomes gray if the theme on the phone is dark, and white if the theme on the phone is white.
Any guesses what on Earth is going on?
Thanks
OK, I have found what caused this, and it's the most unusual thing. I wasted 4 hours and then realized what was the thing I changed compared to the last version of my app.
I realized that I added the AdDuplex ad control. I have no idea how and why this influences the color of the transition page, but whenever I debug my app using trial mode and display the ad control, the transition page becomes gray. When I am not in trial but "paid" mode, the ad is not visible and the transition page is white.
Removing the AdDuplex control helps. (not such a great solution)
