Remove top shadow in my grouped UITableView? - objective-c

Question

I am a little OCD and this is driving me insane. I have been messing around with these settings for a long time.
I have a UITableView grouped that I have a shadow on the top. When you tap the top cell, it removes. What gives?
I've been stressing over this for the past hour or so. Is there a simple solution for this? Or am I just going insane?
Thanks,
Coulton
EDIT:
viewDidLoad:
formTableView.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
formTableView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor clearColor].CGColor;
formTableView.separatorColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:(194.0 / 255.0) green:(194.0 / 255.0) blue:(194.0 / 255.0) alpha: 1];
Here is how I display my cells. WARNING: It's a lot of code. There's a bunch of stuff in there you will have to sort through, so sort through it at your own risk! :)

}

return 2;
}

return UITableViewCellEditingStyleNone;
}
// What to do when you click delete.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView commitEditingStyle:(UITableViewCellEditingStyle)editingStyle forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
return NO;
}
//RootViewController.m
- (NSInteger)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView numberOfRowsInSection:(NSInteger)section {
if (section == 0) {
return [formDataOne count];
} else {

Answer 1

Set your table view's separator style to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLine. It's currently being set to UITableViewCellSeparatorStyleSingleLineEtched, which gives the effect of a doubled top border on the iPhone (it looks more detailed on iOS 5, and on iOS 3.2 and 4 on the iPad).

Answer 2

You're not insane, it looks like there is an extra pixel in there.
Try taking out "Sharing" and see if it still happens. Curious to see if the shadow is on "Sharing" or the table itself.
If that's the case, then you know your header view has a problem, not the table view.
