NSPopover color

Question

Is there any way to color NSPopover? Ive seen apps like facetab etc that have cool colors and resizeable popovers, how is this done?

Ay guides, hints?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Set popover.contentViewController.view as a subclass of NSView with a custom background drawing (i.e. override drawRect: and fill a rect with your custom background color).

Then set the popover.appearance = NSPopoverAppearanceHUD to remove the default border around the view.

Note that there will still be a very thin border around the view, so if you want to remove it completely, you may want to use MAAttachedWindow or a similar solution.
