This is not good to do but its necessary then i think you use like below might be userful to you

self.window.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:55.0f green:55.0f blue:55.0 alpha:0.05];

It's not possible to see the homescreen inside your app. Apple did this to save power (who needs to render the homescreen while he's using an app) and to prevent devs from irritating users by making them think they are on their homescreen.
