IOS 7 - Search Display Controller in TableView White Scrollview Background - Cannot change background color

In my app I'm using dark table and cells. I've set everything to black in my storyboard, and when it all works perfect until I add a Search Display Controller. The search box itself is the desired color, but when I pull down, I see a scroll view that is white. I cannot find anywhere in the storyboard settings to change that background color. I've checked several places to include searching this site in depth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've gone as far as calling this helper I found on stackoverflow from viewDidLoad and programmatically setting all backgrounds to black. It still shows up as white. I've tried this for the self.view self.tableView self.searchDisplayController and still no dice.

- (void)listSubviewsOfView:(UIView *)view {

    // Get the subviews of the view
    NSArray *subviews = [view subviews];

    [view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

    for (UIView *subview in subviews)
    {

        [subview setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];

        NSLog(@"%@, %@", [subview class], subview.backgroundColor);

        [self listSubviewsOfView:subview];

    }
}

You need to remember that while searching, another table view is loaded by the searchDisplayController.

So you may need to set the backgroundColor of the searchResultsTableView, like this:

[self.searchDisplayController.searchResultsTableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor purpleColor]]; //Purple couldn't be a good choice :)

Accidentally I found a solution to this problem. If you set the backgroundView property of the table view to anything, for example:

self.tableView.backgroundView = [[UIView alloc] init];

the white background disappears and backgroundColor is visible as expected.

Use this method .. it will call when you start searching..

- (void)searchDisplayController:(UISearchDisplayController *)controller didLoadSearchResultsTableView:(UITableView *)tableView
{
    tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor anyColor];
}
