Yep. That way you get the best-quality image since it's built to fit an explicit size. And if parts of your display are cacheable, e.g., the clock background, then you can recreate them at that point. Keep an ivar with the size of the view when the image(s) were last cached and compare it against the view's current size. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
