How to show UIImage background through transparent pixels of image

Question

I have an image, that has transparent areas and a known backround. But wheh I set "image" property of the UIImage i see main view and not a color which i set in "background" property.

Answer 1

Had to create custom control with two UIImageViews bounded by obu UIView. It works, but i would prefer apple doing something about this behaviour

Answer 2

I think I tried that before and found no real solution. You could however put the uiimageview into an uiview with the same size and set the backgroundcolor to this view.
