i have a simple black NSView that is positioned the top index level of

is to fade out, so the view appears to fade in.  i have to often move
it out of the way, and i also set it to hidden (then change it to not
hidden at launch) just so i see the other objects under it in the
window.  is there a way in IB to keep this black view at the highest
index, making it set to not hidden, but to make it invisible in IB
only?


Some easy solutions would be:

* Create the view programatically - presumably it covers an entire view (or the content view), so creating the view and sizing it to the other view would be trivial and not need to be positioned/adjusted in Interface Builder.

* Move the view to the back in Interface Builder (ie, drag it to the top of the list in the outline view). Then programatically move it to the front.

* Offset it by 1000 pixels, and then offset it back programatically.

Enjoy,
   Peter.
