Re-drawing static cells and giving them a new look IOS - ios

Question

i want to costumize the static cells in my storyboard table by drawing them with draw-rect, but how do i loop over all the cells and draw the rect?
I have read this tutorial but it only covers prototype cells:
http://www.raywenderlich.com/32283/core-graphics-tutorial-lines-rectangles-and-gradients
Assuming i have a draw rect method, how do i loop the static cells and apply it ?
EDIT 1:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
static NSString * CellIdentifier = #"Cell";
UITableViewCell * cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
// START NEW
if (![cell.backgroundView isKindOfClass:[CostumCellBackground class]]) {
cell.backgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
}
if (![cell.selectedBackgroundView isKindOfClass:[CostumCellBackground class]]) {
cell.selectedBackgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
}
// END NEW
cell.textLabel.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor]; // NEW
return cell;
}
If i use this in my Table View Controller, this is from the turtorial, i removed the parts that assigned value to the cell, since they are static.
This does not work becouse UITableViewCell has to return a value, and for some reason it does not.
I did assign the ID "Cell" to the rows, as he does in the tutorial

Answer 1

Try creating a custom table cell and doing this:
-(void)awakeFromNib
{
self.backgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
self.selectedBackgroundView = [[CostumCellBackground alloc] init];
}
Then in your tableview controller, since your cells are static, you can assign them as IBOutlets and do something like this:
- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UITableViewCell *returnCell;
switch(indexPath.row)
{
case 0: returnCell = self.staticCell0;
break;
case 1: returnCell = self.staticCell1;
break;
//etc
}
return returnCell;
}
