  • I don't think this is possible, build-in apps sometimes use private method and APIs. – Thanh-Nhon Nguyen May 02 '14 at 08:57

You can inspect and study the source code of ILTranslucentView.

I think there is a private method. [[UIApplication sharedApplication] _setApplicationIsOpaque: NO]; Give it a try. Don't forget to clear the background of your view.

  • I haven't tried using private method but unless you don't want to submit your app to appstore, just never messing around with private methods, your app will be rejected for sure. – Thanh-Nhon Nguyen May 02 '14 at 08:53
  • @Thanh-NhonNGUYEN Yes Apple don't like use of Private methods. wali still if you feel to use. have a look at this gist https://gist.github.com/justin/25fa4ec47124b6c7c645 – Pushpak Narasimhan May 02 '14 at 08:59
  • @walinaqvi Appple has removed the ability to use this api in 7.0.3. What a shame. – Pushpak Narasimhan May 02 '14 at 10:35
