title: iOS storyboard: set a background color to prototype cell
body: <p>I am facing a very strange issue with XCode 4.5.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to set a background color to a prototype cell in my storyboard, but in interface builder the cell color doesn't change, even when I run it on my device it doesn't use the color I set.</p>
  
  <p>I tried creating a subclass of <code>UITableViewCell</code> and setting the color of the background in all init methods but it still donnot work.</p>
  
  <p>PS: XCode 4.5.1 and iOS 5 or 6, same issue. Since I'm a new developer I cannot recall if it worked on previous versions of XCode.</p>
