Hi,

Have you tried using the "FirstResponder" for this?

Add an action to the preferences window's nib's "FirstResponder" called "setWindowBackgroundColor". Then connect the color well to the first responder and connect to that action.

If the window controller of the other window implements that action, it should hook up correctly through the responder chain.

Best,
Cathy

Alright, I have been searching archives, following tutorials, and looking at source code for several hours, and I cannot figure out the answer to my problem.

Is there a way to programmatically connect to a NIB file and read it's outlets without changing my File's Owner? I have a color well in one NIB (My Prefs NIB) and a window in another. I want the color well to change the window's background. I have an action called setColor:, but I cannot figure out how to access the window outlet from the NIB containing the window. Please help!
