Thanks Brian for confirming my fears. :) For anyone reading the archives, I recommend staying away from NSView's enterFullScreenMode (in 10.5.2 at least) for all but the most trivial cases. - there seems to be no way to change window level <rdar://5804777> - you can't allow the menu bar nor dock to auto unhide when moused over <rdar://5287546> - it interferes with the usual way of unbinding (viewWillMoveToSuperview:) <rdar://5497135> - you can't specify an animated transition to/from full screen This all seems to be due to capturing the screen instead of using using SetSystemUIMode(). Pity. >You might alternately try to set the window level on your floating >palette instead, ie. [paletteWindow setLevel:kCGMaximumWindowLevel]. Yes, that is my current workaround.
