I confused the view with the color, but in essence that’s what I was afraid you were saying: that Yosemite is blending with unrelated content instead of what is layered by your app/view/window/whatever “under” the rectangle you’re trying to fill.
I believe you should file a bug report on this. -- Charles On March 31, 2015 at 10:33:04, Eyal Redler (e...@beamr.com) wrote: First, I'm not setting the alpha for the view, I'm setting a color with 0.5 alpha and using that to fill the view (code is from "drawRect"). Second, and more importantly, my problem is not that content is showing through the view (that is the purpose), the problem is that what's showing through is not the right content: I'm seeing other windows and the desktop insetad of seeing what's painted on the superview, the superview's superview etc. To clarify, one of my view's superviews is painted opaque below that view so it's not a case where we have transparency all the way down to the window.
