If you have a plain (not grouped) UITableView with a single row, the rest of the screen is filled with blank or empty cells. How do you change the appearance of these blank cells? Af first, I thought they would have the appearance of the cell used in the table view but it seems they don't.

The people from Cultured Code (Things) have done a nice job modifying these cells but I can't immediately think of a way to change their appearance.

Any tips?
