Question

When I do a UIModalTransitionStyleFlipHorizontal I want to see the bg image from the multitasking menu or from when you drag a outside of a page in Safari. Is this something Apple supply?

Answer 1

Sort of, yes. Take a look at these UIColor methods:

+ groupTableViewBackgroundColor
+ viewFlipsideBackgroundColor
+ scrollViewTexturedBackgroundColor
+ underPageBackgroundColor

You can use those to set background “colours” which are actually pattern image colours. Other than those there is nothing else supplied (as far as I know anyway).

For example (thanks @JonRamvi):

window.backgroundColor = [UIColor scrollViewTexturedBackgroundColor];
