I'd like to use the pinstripe background that shows up in the Settings app and many other iPhone apps behind table views. Is is already included in some graphics library? How can I make it show up in a UIView or UITableView?

myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor groupTableViewBackgroundColor];
Just to stick with convention though, don't apply this background unless you're using tableviews that scroll as this type of background is semiotical to tableview scrolls.
You just have to use the "grouped" style on your table view.
As of iOS 6.0, this doesn't work anymore.
