I'm sorry, I'm not sure that I'm following this. Looking at it more closely, on the side I want this behaviour, it's just an IKImageView derived class on top of a window. So, I just need to make the IKImageView show the image, transparently. I've tried setting the Opaque setting, but it doesn't appear to have one. I've also tried setting the background color to what you've shown here ( it gives me a white background ) or clearColor ( which gives me a black background ). Is there something I am missing ?
