Change iPhone tableview (style grouped) background color while preserving texture

Question

How can we change the background color of tableview (style grouped) while still preserving texture of thin columns/lines effect that we can see when it has the default blue

Answer 1

Create the property of tableView:

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITableView *tableView;

Then synthesize it:

@synthesize tableView = _tableView;

In implementation create method:

- (UITableView *) tableView {
  [_tableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor whiteColor]];
  return _tableView;
}

Remember also to connect your tableView in xib file, and it should work.
