I am making custom popover by subclassing UIPopoverBackgroundView (using this tutorial) and presenting it by using UIPopoverController. Unfortunately as soon as I specify custom

All you need is add next code into initWithFrame: method of your implementation of UIPopoverBackgroundView.

UIView *dimView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0 - self.frame.origin.x,
                                                           0 - self.frame.origin.y,
                                                           [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.width,
                                                           [UIScreen mainScreen].bounds.size.height)];
dimView.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
dimView.alpha = 0.15;
dimView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
[self addSubview:dimView];

It works as same as default Apple implementation.
