Are you sure a (rather small) sort indicator didn't appear in the column's header? Basically, the style of column highlighting (to indicate sorting) has changed. It doesn't darken the background of the column. It just displays a small indicator in the header. > I’m trying to use the column highlight to indicate a view state unrelated to > sorting… Don't do that. Don't try to hijack features intended for one semantic for another. First, you'll confuse the users. Second, you subject yourself to the framework changing how the feature is implemented. It would presumably still be suitable for the intended semantic, but may not be for yours. If you're using a view-based outline view, try using a custom table row view that overrides -drawBackgroundInRect:.
