UILabel Background Color Leaks to Border

Question

I\'m creating a UILabel to which I set the background color and corner radius with the following code:

self.scoreLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor DISRed];// cust         


        

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem with the UIButton's background color leaking around the edge of its border.

Instead of setting the UIButton background color on the UIButton, set it on the UIButton's layer.

Replace:

self.scoreLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor DISRed];// custom red`

With this:

self.scoreLabel.layer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor DISRed] CGColor];// custom red`
