To show a view over content on the screen, you can use techniques such as ignoring the safe area to allow content to extend to the edges of the screen. This is particularly useful when you want a background image to fill the screen completely. In the session "Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI," it is mentioned that you can attach a background to an outer scroll view and make the image resizable to fit the screen. By ignoring the safe area, the content flows all the way to the edges of the display. Additionally, you can use a gradient mask to fade out the image behind buttons or other UI elements to ensure it doesn't distract from the main content.

For more details, you can refer to the session Migrate your TVML app to SwiftUI (08:23).
