# drawsBackground

A Boolean value that indicates whether the cell draws its background color.

## Declaration

```swift
var drawsBackground: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Discussion When the value of this property is true, the cell draws its background color. In order to prevent inconsistent rendering, background color rendering is automatically disabled for rounded-bezel text fields.
