I want to overlay a HUD-style transparent graphic over the entire screen in a UITabBarController setup. The button to do this is in the first tab's screen (FirstViewController), and the overlay should also cover the tabs... is this possible?

You could attach your new view to your window directly.

[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] addSubview:myNewView];
