Question App Store Custom Background

Can anyone tell me how you display a custom background for your application, instead of the plain blue? It's not just for big studio releases like the Terminator game, as I see that an independent developer has one for ColorSplash too.

You can't. Apple decides who gets to have it, just like being featured, or having an ad.

Just got some official confirmation (for reference) on this:

Applications that have custom background art on the App Store are selected editorially by Apple. If your application is selected to be receive custom art, you will be contacted by an Apple representative.
