Background non showing

[licx]

On iOs8 the background is not showing. I installed TSMessages 0.9.11 through Cocoapods. The Podfile platform version is iOs 7.0. The project deployment target is iOs 7.0.

Any idea on what could be causing the issue?

    [TSMessage showNotificationInViewController:nav title:@"Hello" subtitle:@"Test" type:TSMessageNotificationTypeError duration:100000.0 canBeDismissedByUser:NO];

+1 I'm also having the same issue (with exact same config) although I was hoping it was a simulator issue. Currently can't test on real device.

I have some additional information. TSMessages loads the background colors from a default JSON configuration file. Those colors are in HEX format (Eg. "#AA317B"). For some reason when TSMessages passes the HEX color to the colorWithHexString method of UIColor the method returns nil. This method is part of the HexColor library

//Line 184 of TSMessageView.m
UIColor *c= [UIColor colorWithHexString:current[@"backgroundColor"]];

If the color is without the initial "#" the method works. For example "#aaabbb" doesn't work while "aaabbb" works. As quick workaround I created a custom JSON file with colors without the "#"

    [TSMessage addCustomDesignFromFileWithName:@"TSMessagesCustomDesign.json"];

TSMessagesCustomDesign.json

  "error": {
        "backgroundImageName": "NotificationBackgroundError.png",
        "borderColor": "700000",
        "borderHeight": 1,
        "buttonBackgroundImageName": "NotificationButtonBackground.png",
        "buttonTitleTextColor": "FFFFFF",
        "buttonTitleShadowColor": "812929",
        "buttonTitleShadowOffsetX": 0,
        "buttonTitleShadowOffsetY": -1,
        "contentFontSize": 12,
        "contentTextColor": "FFFFFF",

        "shadowColor": "812929",
        "shadowOffsetX": 0,

        "backgroundColor": "DD3B41"
    }

I had the same issue on iOS 8. Adding a custom design and removing the # worked for me. Thanks.
