Transparent iphone application

Question

I\'m trying to build an application that is launched has a transparent background, in practice, showing only the objects in view (buttons, labels etc etc) but not the backgr

Answer 1

No. It's not possible using the official SDK. I'm interested to know why you would want to do this?

Answer 2

It might be possible, try setting the window background color to clear, as well as the view controller's view background color.

I say it might be possible because I've seen my home screen while using some apps, for example, the Facebook app sometimes shows it during a transition (it might be a bug on either Facebook or the OS).

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that kind of app would be rejected from the App Store, so be advised.
