You could make it so its: TabBarController -> UINavigationController -> UINavigationController -> etc
Start on TAB 1 with just your login view pushed. Set: HidesBottomBarWhenPushed = true; and possibly also remove the Navigation bar. See the bottom of my blog post from last night on how to animate that away: http://www.fastchicken.co.nz/2012/05/20/earnest-debrief-visual-styles-in-ios-apps-uiappearence-custom-sections-in-monotouch-dialog/ Then, push your normal view onto the stack and set it's HideButtomBarWhenPushed to false (which is the default) NOTE: there is a bug (was?) in MonoTouch.Dialog which means the nav content jumps around a bit. I fixed it with: public override void LoadView () { //.... tableView.AutoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleWidth; // | UIViewAutoresizing.FlexibleTopMargin; //... } Now a better way than ALL of that might be to setup your screens as normal, but use PresentModalViewController to get the login screen up. You can set the Animation mode using view.ModalTransitionStyle = UIModalTransitionStyle.CoverVertical; Sadly, sliding in from the right isn't an option, but you can flip or page curl. Oh, don't forget you can also pre-push a load of views into a UINavigationController. I do that with Earnest on the Overview screen - the tax year selection is just another view which is pushed before the main overview is displayed. BTW, I've gone for the slide-up-from-under modal presentation option so far in mobileAgent.
