Yes, I agree. It should be smart enough, for instance, to use a window regardless of whether or not it has a title bar. The only other suggestions I have is to make sure your xib's File Owner's class is ETAboutWindowController, and its window outlet it hooked up to the window. But I assume both of those are correct, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing that output. Have you thought about trying the non-deprecated methods for displaying sheets, e.g. those in NSWindow? I'm using those for mine, but I'm targeting 10.9 and later. -- Steve Mills Drummer, Mac geek _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
