Would you really want that, even if it could be done? The effect would be that your active window was cutting a hole through the underlying windows to reveal the desktop. As much as the translucency effect is annoying and a performance drag, it is at least consistent with the layered windows metaphor. You'd be better off just making your window entirely opaque, and I think we should be doing that to send Apple the message that we don't want the stinking translucency effect. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
