Well, as long as you're not using NSReadPixel to try to take a screenshot. ;-) This page on CocoaDev suggests using a transparent window: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?GettingTheColorUnderTheCursor But I don't think a screen-sized window is necessary. You might be able to create a transparent 1px-by-1px window that follows the cursor hotspot, then lock focus on its contentView and call NSReadPixel. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
