[self.contentView addSubview:imageView];
[imageView release];

CGRect frame = CGRectMake(60, 0, 140, 60);
produceName = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
produceName.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
produceName.opaque = YES;
produceName.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentLeft;
produceName.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
produceName.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:16];
[self.contentView addSubview:produceName];
[produceName release];

   }

   return self;
}


BUT The font is hard to read and actually gray and not white?

Thanks

Re: Why is my UIColor white actually gray?

2009-03-06 Thread Alex Kac 
Well if the text is anti-aliased (which it is by default in a  
UILabel), then the center of the text would be white, but the edges  
are gray to help make it smooth. If the font is small enough, it can  
look gray and not pure white.

Re: Why is my UIColor white actually gray?

I don't see any property for antialiasing on or off.

How do I turn it off to see?

You don't.  Aliased text is more commonly known as the jaggies and
can be particularly hard to read.

Unrelated, but don't do this. You don't have ownership to the results  
of +imageNamed:, so you should not be releasing or autoreleasing it.
