iOS: Why do I have white, rounded corners on my modal view?

Question

I have a modal view popping up in my iPad app and for some reason it has white, rounded corners.

It might be worth noting I built this model view in my storyboard, n

Answer 1

I'm my case the white stuff are hidden in the drop shadow's view at layer background color. Solved by changing the background to clear color:

//Monotouch code
View.Superview.Layer.BackgroundColor = UIColor.Red.CGColor;

If it's doesn't get rid of the white corner keep searching, remember to check out some properties of the View, SuperView and BackgroundViews:

• Background color
• Layer's background color
• Layer's Border width and color
• Heading
• Clip to bounds

Note: DropShadow is visible as View's SuperView at ViewWillApper

Answer 2

That's weird. Try self.view.layer.masksToBounds = YES; too if that works. You'll probably lose your view's shadows though.

Come to think of it, that white thing probably comes from the view below your navigation bar.

Answer 3

In order to make the modal view transparent and make the transparency happen before the view appeared was to move self.view.superview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor] from viewDidAppear to the following:

• (void)viewWillLayoutSubviews{ [super viewWillLayoutSubviews];

  self.view.superview.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; }
