Hrm. Unless your window looks like the Formula bar in Excel, perhaps this isn't the best idea. But whatever, we'll roll with it. In any case, file an enhancement request at http://bugreport.apple.com and see if Apple gives word on this feature. > Searching found an item on cocodev > <http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?TitlebarOnSide> which suggests that this > isn't possible and suggests subclassing NSWindow using > NSBorderlessWindowMask which directed me to the "RoundTransparentWindow" > sample.

Though this does present an interesting question of whether it's possible to provide the desired mask using a Carbon nib. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
