Question: I am trying to add a Fixed transparent header in a `UITableView` similar to the one on the attached image (LHR-SYD / 372 Results). Is this a "built in" component in xcode/ios or how is it done ?

Answer: 
You can change the default header view bg:

```
 - (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView willDisplayHeaderView:(UIView *)view forSection:(NSInteger)section {
    UITableViewHeaderFooterView *header = (UITableViewHeaderFooterView *)view;
    header.backgroundView.backgroundColor = [header.backgroundView.backgroundColor colorWithAlphaComponent:1];
}

```
```
- (UIView *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView viewForHeaderInSection:(NSInteger)section
{

  UIView *transparentView=[[UIView alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0,0,320,10)];
  transparentView.backGroundColor=[UIColor clearColor];
  return transparentView;

}

```
