I have a view with a few textured NSButton objects placed on top of a contentView. Since a couple of the buttons overlap and one uses transparency and requires a shadow, I turned on the wants-layer feature for that button. The button still looks a little funky in the corner where it overlaps another button, so I turn on wants-layer for the entire view by setting wants-layer for the contentView containing the buttons. When I run the application, the button with the shadow is invisible. It is there, I can click on it with the mouse or press the key bound to the button and the app responds appropriately. If I turn off wants-layer for the contentView and run the app again, I can now see the button, though it looks wrong because of the missing Core Animation features with transparency and shadow.
The other half of the puzzle is that this view used to work fine. It broke when I added a second window to the app, which also uses Core Animation. Anyone seen anything remotely like this? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4920112/Screenshots/Screen%20shot%202011-03-03%20at%203.17.57%20PM.PNG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4920112/Screenshots/Screen%20shot%202011-03-03%20at%203.18.26%20PM.PNG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4920112/Screenshots/Screen%20shot%202011-03-03%20at%203.19.13%20PM.PNG -Michael _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
