Hi Florian,
You can't do custom drawing this way (because the IKImageBrowserView renders
into an openGL surface, so AppKit or CoreGraphics calls won't do anything).
So to do what you want you can either:
- make the view layer backed and add a sub-layer
- add an overlay transparent window on top of the image browser view
- add an overlay layer with setForegroundLayer: (that's the easiest solution
but it is SnowLeopard only).
