Just found the answer. It turns out that these are just 3 lines, and I need to define my own .png indicator with a transparent background:
UITableViewCell *bgView = [[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectZero]; bgView.backgroundColor=indexPath.row % 2? [UIColor colorWithRed:0.95 green:0.95 blue:0.95 alpha:1]: [UIColor whiteColor]; bgView.accessoryView = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"disclosure.png"]]; cell.backgroundView=bgView; return cell;
