Since you can't reload bundles, you might need to quit System Preferences as part of a preference pane's self-updating scheme. But it's probably better to just ask the user to do it. _murat On Jan 4, 2011, at 1:08 PM, Nick Zitzmann wrote: > > On Jan 4, 2011, at 1:56 PM, eveningnick eveningnic

Uh, if I understand what the op wants to do correctly, overriding - [NSWindow mouseDown:] isn't going to do it. If the user clicks inside a view that overrides -mouseDown: (and friends -rightMouseDown: and -otherMouseDown:), there's no guarantee that your window's override will get called.
