Well, the minSize is actually correctly set but that doesn't seem to be small enough for Versions on small desktops, I found a solution by implemeting the NSWindowDelegate methods below to set the minSize to 640x480 when entering Versions, and setting it back to 1200x680 when exiting. - (void)w

Can I create a thread with a runloop and a dispatch queue?

The main thread of a Cocoa app has a runloop (of course) and also the main GCD dispatch queue. This is very handy because it means tasks on that thread can be scheduled either using the runloop (NSTimer or delayed-perform) or using GCD (dispatch_async, dispatch_sync). But background threads don

Re: Can I create a thread with a runloop and a dispatch queue?

You did not miss anything. Since a queue can run on any or multiple threads (except the main queue), creating a runloop on it - and runloops are thread-specific - means that one dispatched block may run on a thread that doesn’t have the runloop created in another by a previously dispatched block

NSControl subclass is not becoming initial first responder without Full Keyboard Access

We have an NSControl subclass in a window. The class returns YES from acceptsFirstResponder and canBecomeKeyView, and it overrides some NSResponder methods (mouseDown:, keyDown:). The control is set to be the initialFirstResponder in the xib. Yet it will not be the initial first responder unles

Just create a UIButton that's custom; set the background color and the layer's corner radius, borderWidth and borderColor properties to something like 5.0f, 1.5f and [[UIColor blackColor] CGColor] and that should look pretty similar to the "old" "regular" buttons -- Esteban Torres (+506)8813-0
