iOS can't set background color for FXBlurView
blur, ios, uiview
Solution
The blurView tintColor uses additive blending, so making it grey won't have much effect.
If you want to add a grey overlay to darken your blur view, add a subview with a partially transparent grey backgroundColor inside the blurView.
Problem
I'm using FXBlur to achieve blur-effect for an underlying view. But the background color which I set is never seen while running. I have a "`Main View`" inside which there is an `Image` and a `Blur View`. `Blur View` has a grey background. The `Image` is getting blurred but I can't see the grey color which I had set for the `Blur View`. No matter what I try, I can't set the backgrund color and achieve the blur effect simultaneously. What might be the issue? Is there any workaround? `EDITED` : ``` self.blurView.dynamic = NO; self.blurView.tintColor = [UIColor grayColor]; self.blurView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeBottom; ```
