AFAIK, status window level is for windows belonging to NSStatusItems. I am not completely educated on full screen issues, but I imagine since changing the window layer changes its behavior, the full screen semantics are using the window layer as a hint to handle resizing. Just for grins, what happens when you send -toggleFullScreen: to your overlay? > On May 20, 2014, at 10:59 AM, edward taffel <etaf...@me.com> wrote: > >> >> On May 20, 2014, at 10:41 AM, Keary Suska <cocoa-...@esoteritech.com> wrote: >> >>> On May 20, 2014, at 8:17 AM, edward taffel wrote: >>> >>>> does anyone know where to find the definition of kCGStatusWindowLevel >>>> (NSStatusWindowLevel)? or alternatively, can anyone define it? >>> >>> NSStatusWindowLevel is declared in NSWindow.h, kCGStatusWindowLevel is >>> declared in CGWindowLevel.h.
