Transparent tableView
-
Hi what is the secret to getting a table view from ui designer to overlay onto a background such that only the text is visible and the cells have no background?
I have tried setting bg_color of data source and/or table view to none but it’s not happening.ie each cell is always white.
I can remove white separator lines using tableView.separator_color=(1,0,0,0).
Why won’t the same work for .bg_color and/or .background_color (and what is the difference between those two anyhow?)
Thanks in advance for any help :)
What am I missing here? -
@rb Try this
import ui v = ui.View() v.name = 'Transparent TableView' f = (0, 0, 600, 800) v.frame = f img = ui.ImageView() img.frame = f img.image = ui.Image.named('test:Peppers') v.add_subview(img) tbl = ui.TableView() tbl.background_color = (0,0,0,0) tbl.frame = f tbl.data_source = ui.ListDataSource(items=range(40)) tbl.separator_color=(1,0,0,0) def tableview_cell_for_row(tableview, section, row): cell = ui.TableViewCell() data = tableview.data_source.items[row] cell.bg_color = (0,0,0,0) cell.text_label.font= ('Courier-Bold',32) cell.text_label.alignment = ui.ALIGN_LEFT cell.text_label.text_color = 'black' cell.text_label.text = str(data) return cell tbl.data_source.tableview_cell_for_row = tableview_cell_for_row v.add_subview(tbl) v.present('sheet')

@rb adding
selected_cell = ui.View() selected_cell.bg_color = (0,0,1,0.4) cell.selected_background_view = selected_cell
Gives this effect for the selected row:

Thankyou for that got it working at last :). I need to set each cells bg rather than the table - got it.
