- Version 0.21

- Osx

I have a `TextView` like:

```auto
<TextView Width="90%" Background="#111" Alignment="Bottom" TextAlignment="Left" TextWrapping="Wrap" Padding="4" Margin="4" TextColor="#fff" CaretColor="#777" />

```

But in IOS the background color don’t change! Always appear with a white background…

How can I change it? It’s a bug?

Thanks!

Hi Christian, this looks like a bug to me. I’ve created an issue to investigate.

This issue has now been fixed, and will roll out in a release in the very near future.
