How to create a UITableViewCell with a transparent background

Question

I'm trying to set the background color of a `UITableViewCell` to transparent. But nothing seems to work. I have some images/buttons inside the `tableViewCell` and I would like to make the white `grouptableview` background disappear to get a 'floating' effect for the images and buttons (as if they were not inside the `tableview`). Any idea how this could be accomplished?

Accepted Answer

If both the other options didn't work try this

```
UIView *backView = [[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero] autorelease];
backView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
cell.backgroundView = backView;
```
