I have a UIViewController with a custom background color. On top of it there's a UITableView with UITableViewCells that are semi-transparent (white color with opacity 0.5).
The issue I'm blaming about and the one I'm banging my head against the wall is in iOS 7, when you have a UITableViewCell with semi-transparent background and you try to delete/insert/moving rows (so relying on an animation effect) the entire UITableView with its cells flashing for just 0.1 second and set cells background to a more transparent one. This is very annoying.
The only thing I'm doing is set the background color of self.view with:
self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.4 green:0.5 blue:0.7 alpha:1];
and set the background color of cells with:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
cell.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:1 alpha:0.5];
}
Here's a gif showing you the problem:

Please help me to solve this ridicolous issue! :P
