I would like to create a transparent window that spans all the screens and that handles mouse down events. Below is the code that I use to create my transparent window. The transparent window gets created and display successfully. However, mouse down events are not directed to the window. I can see where this feature is desirable. For example making a round window. However, not in my case.
Is there a way that I can setup a transparent window to receive mouse down events? Note: I have found that if I set the window's background color alpha value to 0.05 or greater I will receive mouse down events. However this little amount of alpha causes some color shift in the background image. - (id)init { NSRect rect = [[NSScreen mainScreen] frame]; // get the union of all the screens for (NSScreen* s in [NSScreen screens]) { rect = NSUnionRect(rect,[s frame]); } self = [super initWithContentRect:rect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreRetained defer:YES]; if (self) { [self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]]; [self setOpaque:NO]; } return self; } _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
