Thanks Mike, I forgot to mention that I've already tried -[NSWindow setFrame:display:animate:], but it does not seem to differ from the other methods I mentioned.
Well, it's all quite smooth, but very noticeably less smooth than the Core Animation-powered animations of the views inside the window. Since I want some of the view animations and window animations happen at the same time, this difference becomes very noticeable. For example, consider such case: my window displays a vertical table of items, and when a new item is added with an animation to the table, the window should also grow vertically with animation to give room for the new item. The view is added so smoothly and the window grows so jaggedly... Any other ideas?
