Question

I have followed the answer provided here to create a drop shadow for my UINavigationBar. However, the shadow is above the UITableCell that is directly below the bar (image). How would I go about making the cell cover up the shadow, so that the shadow of the bar is only visible if you scroll up?

Answer 1

The simplest thing you can do is to create a background image using Photoshop (or a similar application) leaving 44px (88px for the retina display) from the top and making the shadow start from there.

Then just use that as a backgroundColor of your window.

The NavBar in the image will be covered from the actual navigationBar and only the shadow will be visible (beneath the tableView as you asked.)
