webview in core animation layer The only other thread I can find is the above which doesn't necessarily fit my needs. Is there a reliable way to simply draw a view on top of a webview? I've tried to layer a regular NSView on top of WebView, and it draws right at first, but any movement in the webview (scrolling the page etc) appears to invalidate the view and produces visual artifacts. I've tried: [[[NSApp mainWindow] contentView] addSubview:view positioned:NSWindowAbove relativeTo:webView]; No luck there, same problems -- z-ordering doesn't seem to work unless I'm missing something. Is this

Short and sweet: How can I tell Interface Builder to center a window on a user's screen? I've seen the positioning tool on the inspector, but eyeballing doesn't always land as squarely as I like. Is this something where I should switch over to Xcode and add something to the init or awakeFromNib methods? You could use [window center] as answered by wahkiz, but that might not be exactly what you want. The documentation states that this will put the window centered horizontally, but somewhat above the vertical centre. In this way the window has a visual prominence. If you want to put your window

Is it possible to make a window to go over the menu bar, without going in fullscreen? Thanks in Advance! Yes, trivially: window.level = NSMainMenuWindowLevel + 1; (Reference: Drawing to the Full Screen , OpenGL Programming Guide for Mac OS X .) sebastianmarkow is correct in that this is terrible behaviour for a normal document window, but there are several window types for which this is normal: cursors, tool tips, and special utilities like Xscope. I liked Jens Ayton's answer, but rather than pick an arbitrary number like that, I think it would be preferred that you use one of the defined

I have an NSDocument based app with autosave enabled. I'd like to prevent this popup from showing: I have tried returning nil from NSWindow's –title, –representedFilename and –representedURL which hide the title effectively hide the title but have no effect on the downward facing disclosure indicator and the popup. Is there a way I can prevent this popup from being presented? I was able to prevent the button from being shown by overriding NSWindow's + (NSButton *)standardWindowButton:(NSWindowButton)windowButtonKind forStyleMask:(NSUInteger)windowStyle and returning nil for

How correctly to quit the Mac OS X app, when the main (the only one) closes? I know there a method - (void)windowWillClose:(NSNotification *)notification in NSWindowDelegate . But it isn't quite suitable in my case, because it is called before NSWindow closes. You cannot have windowDidClose event since the notification that accompanies it would be holding an invalid object (the window is likely to have been deallocated on close). To achieve what you need, make your class the delegate of the Application, and implement the following method: - (BOOL)

I have custom NSWindow with custom NSView set as its contentView. The window gets initialized with: [window setOpaque:NO]; [window setBackgroundColor: [NSColor clearColor]]; [window setHasShadow: NO]; [window setAcceptsMouseMovedEvents: YES]; [window setLevel: NSFloatingWindowLevel]; Content view, in its drawRect draws simple circle filled by solid color. All this works OK - the window appears on desktop and I see that circle. The only thing that does not work: the whole window rectangle is not transparent for mouse clicks. If I will click outside the circle (but inside invisible window box)
