Has anyone implemented an image pattern as a background. I am trying to do something similar to this but keep getting a white background - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; UIImage *patternImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"pattern.png"]; self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:patternImage]; } http://www.bobmccune.com/2011/03/08/ios-101-pattern-images/ Just wondering if the way buzztouch is set up has anything to do with this. Or if this is already implemented in buzztouch, and I just don't know about it.

Haven't gotten that far yet, but it looks kind of neat... I'm not a graphics guy, so any tips in that area are always appreciated :) Cheers! -- Smug

Try to find where it sets the background image, then replace that code with this code. Jake

Hmm... May have had a bad (interlaced) .png file. I swapped the file out and the pattern worked just fine. Here is my implementation for any one that is curious. if([BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars:@"pattern_name":@""].length >3) { [BT_debugger showIt:self:@"set pattern"]; _patternName = [BT_strings getJsonPropertyValue:self.screenData.jsonVars:@"pattern_name":@""]; [BT_debugger showIt:self:_patternName]; _pattern = [UIImage imageNamed:_patternName]; _backGroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:_pattern]; [self.view setBackgroundColor:_backGroundColor]; }

Very cool, will it be a plugin? Self hosted include file? Jake

It is part of the same plugin I have been working on for a while now. The screen uses a scroll view, so using pattern or texture images works better for a background.
