I am trying to customize a UITableView. So far, it looks good. But when I use a custom UITableViewCell sub-class, I do not get the blank table cells when there's only 3 cells:

Using the default TableView style I can get the repeating blank rows to fill the view (for example, the mail application has this). I tried to set a backgroundColor pattern on the UITableView to the same tile background:
UIColor *color = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"score-cell-bg.png"]];
moneyTableView.backgroundColor = color;
...but the tile starts a bit before the TableView's top, so the tile is off once the actual cell's are done displaying:

How can I customize my tableview but still keep the blank rows if there's less rows than fill a page?
