I\'ve seen some iPhone applications that use a custom image as the background for a grouped UITableView, instead of the standard gray lines.
How is this achieved?
self.parentViewController.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"SortByCategory_320x480.png"]];
self.tableView.separatorColor = [UIColor clearColor];
self.tableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
Hope this will help. It won't display hideous translucent background behind the cells especially in case of Grouped UITableView.
