In IB, create a borderless window. Size it appropriately. Uncheck the "visible at Launch" switch. In your awakeFromNib:, you can hide the main menubar. Finally, -makeKeyAndOrderFront: the window when you are ready to display it. The only way you will start with a blank window is if you tell the system to do so. Hopefully, my comments make sense... and hopefully, I am understanding your problem... ;^} On May 19, 2009, at 6:10 PM, Christopher Hansen wrote: > Is there a way that I can do this without a window?
