Styling the index bar of a tableview ?

Hi,

i am using a tableview with a index to show a alphabetical "list" on the right (Example copied from kitchensink)

Now... Can i style this bar? In my case i wanna change the color of the letters and things like that. (I mean - somewhere this has to be written, but where? and can i change it easily?

You can't actually customize the color of that text. I've seen somewhere that someone was able to change the background color of that bar, but it was using an undocumented class of iOS 3.2 and wouldn't be helpful in your situation. The point is that there doesn't seem to be an Apple api that allows for changing this.
