Thanks *Nic*, So something like this(?):
https://gist.github.com/3082446 If you're going of *Element*, you don't have a *UIView *to play with, right? I'm not sure if going all the way to Element is too low-level for me - but if I want complete rendering control, I think I need to. In the gist I have to create my own *TableViewCell*. Is this in the weeks, or the right way to do things? I suspect that this could be more efficient, given the warnings about cell's not being recycled when using the *UIViewElement.* >From the docs: *UIViewElement *Can we used to host a standard UIView as an element, in this case no cell reuse will take place.
