Greetings everyone !

So the question is how to make a window that doesn't have a title bar
and borders ?
Actually I would like it to be just like user login window of OS X.

This could also go for a so called "Splash Screen" on app launch.

Thanks to all in advance.

This is more a couple of philosophical digressions than anything to do with Cocoa, but I think there are a couple of things here that would benefit from a little extra scrutiny before you pursue them.

I would argue against making an effort to make one of your windows look "just like" a security-related OS UI. You'll confuse users who don't realize there's a difference and likely anger some of those who do and decide you're trying to be deceptive.

I would also argue that in general splash screens are an anachronism. They're a holdover from slow hard drives attached to slow CPUs and the idea that an app taking several seconds to finish preparing itself for user interaction was normal. Today there are relatively few apps for which that's the case. Splash screens are no longer the norm and it's fairly gratuitous to force a user to wait for a while as you essentially advertise a product they already own to them.
