Unfortunately that's not a good place either - the window's shadow needs to be invalidated after the drawing actually occurs, not just when the dirty flag is set. Instead of -setNeedsDisplay:, I think your best bet is: [[cView window] display]; [[cView window] invalidateShadow]; Or if you can target Snow Leopard, I remember seeing some 'NSView did draw' delegate methods... > I see that the end of drawRect: is indeed a bad place to do it.

I don't think you're going to be able to avoid the increased CPU usage. Invalidating the window's shadow forces it to redraw, which inevitably will cost some CPU cycles - there's no way around that; it doesn't matter where you actually tell it to invalidate the shadow. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
