selection color for a UITableViewCell
cocoa-touch, iphone, iphone-sdk-3.0, uitableview
Solution
Just don't subclass UITableViewCell and use the default behavior. You can fully customize a cell without any subclassing.

Problem
If I have a custom `UITableViewCell` that doesn't use the `textLabel` built in to the cell but instead does its own drawing, how can I change the appearance of the `contentView` on selection, like it does automatically for the default text (customizable by setting the `selectedTextColor:`)? If I change `tableView:willSelectRowAtIndexPath:`, then it only updates after the blue selection background is up, but not while it's animating, like I want.
