To extend the navigation bar background when using the safeAreaInsetBar modifier, you can use the new Background Extension Effect modifier. This modifier allows views to extend outside the safe area without clipping their content. It works by extending a copy of the image or content out of the safe area so that the real image isn't covered up. This is particularly useful for creating a seamless visual effect where the content appears to extend beyond the navigation bar or sidebar.

For more details, you can refer to the session Build a SwiftUI app with the new design (03:25) where this effect is demonstrated.
