I would like to use a different image for missing tiles with an OpenLayers application. Currently the tile is red/pink, with a red x in the upper left corner. I would like to remove that corner, does anybody know how to specify this image?

My issue is not about the actual tile (I have a special set for a given dataset), however sometimes I see missing tile in the corner of my screen, that I wish to replace with some special 'empty' tile – Ton Plomp Feb 28 '12 at 6:37
