Drawing Game Center like tableview cells

Question

I\'ve now added a bounty which will be awarded to anyone who can take the three images below and produce a working implementation of a UITableView that mimicks the l

Answer 1

They are removing all of the default drawing/borders and simply using custom cells with their own images.

Regarding your edit: This is incorrect. I've achieved that behavior too. , before, I don't recall exactly how I did it, I think I set the background image directly on the table view, not the view behind it. (See the code below.)

EDIT:

Here's the code I used to mimic the behaviour of cells "dragging" portions of the background with them:

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[self.tableView setRowHeight:65.0];

[self.tableView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor clearColor]];
[self.tableView setBackgroundView:nil];
[self.view setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"metal_settings.png"]]];    

[self.tableView setSeparatorStyle:UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleNone];

[self setContentSizeForViewInPopover:CGSizeMake(300, 300)];

}

I've put this in a UITableViewController subclass and have inherited from that in several instances. If you look closely, the "color"/texture outside of the cells moves with the cells.
