I have a custom about box, and it's sort of like Adobe apps, where it's not a
traditional window but a graphic/image I made that is a shape like a hexagon
with a drop shadow.
It works fine and I can call it and I disable the window background by setting
the window alpha to 0.999.
One little tiny issue is that when I invoke the about box, for just a
millisecond I sort of see the window bounds and background, and then it goes
away. The second time I show the about box the blink of background window is
not present.
Is there some way to not have that flash happen the first time? I'm not doing
anything in init or awakeFromNib, only this:
-(IBAction)showAboutWindow:(id)sender
{
if(!aboutWindow)
[NSBundleloadNibNamed:@"AboutWindow"owner:self];
[aboutWindowsetBackgroundColor:[NSColorclearColor]];
[aboutWindowsetAlphaValue:0.9999999]; //will only show transparent backgrounds
if set to something less than 1.0
[aboutWindowcenter];
[aboutWindowsetStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask];
[aboutWindowmakeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}
I tried setting some of the settings in awakeFromNib but they didn't seem to
apply properly.
Thanks, Chris
