Right. So the idea is a child window, borderless, with custom drawing.
Shouldn't be too hard, and I'm envisioning some use of Core Animation to do
things like the fading...

The Mac is pretty flexible in this regard--we can create arbitrarily

we want (or put another way, "child windows" aren'

Hey Darin,
I'm a bit familiar with this problem. From what I understand, the
window manager doesn't get a chance to handle popup windows. The
problem we have with the status bubble now, is if chrome is not on top
(it's behind some other window), and you mouse over a link, our status
bubble popu

I hope so, too. I played around with it for a while in a test app,
and then decided that doing it Right was going to be a lot of effort

Anyways, this isn't the most important thing to worry about now, but it sure
is sad to lose out on such a cool feature of Chrome (that the status bar
won't obscure what the mouse is over).

Yes, though I only played around with it a bit. The window can be
either a normal top-level window (in which case the window manager
tries to manage it, especially in the tiling situation) or a popup.
It seems popups want to be topmost, though I'm not certain about it.

OK.
I'm going to do it on the Mac as a child window, so it'll be bound to the
parent but still independent in positioning. Sounds like that plan is fine.
Thanks,

this seems wrong. surely you can create a top-level window that has no
window decorations. then you can just position that however you like. is
the problem with managing the z-order?

Basically, what I wrote was a quick hack just because I was tired of
not seeing where links go, and someone will need to think about harder
what exact kinds of behaviors we want.
I don't exactly understand how it works on windows, except that the
status bubble can slide out of the main window whi
