Hi Andrew If have been looking at the code below to do something similar. The program below draws quartz compositions on your desktop, can control 'click-through' behaviour and also let's you control the layering order (i.e it stays at desktop level or above all windows) All that is needed is a subclass of NSWindow, because IB does not let you create complely transparent windows. I wanted to program an activity notification for my application similar to the transparent indicator that is displayed on your desktop when you change the volume. It's also a nice example for using quartz composition parameters and getting iTunes current song information from within your program. The code is located here: http://borderless.vade.info/ I'd like to publicly thank the author for providing this. It contained very useful information that I was looking for.
