So, I found this on cocoabuilder: http://www.cocoabuilder.com/archive/message/cocoa/2008/2/13/198777 , which suggests using this private API:

[window setValue:[NSNumber numberWithInt:10] forKey:@"shadowStyle"];

However, at least in my attempts, this did not seem to change my shadow, regardless the value I passed in.

Interestingly, after searching the NSWindow (and NSPanel) docs and google for like 5 minutes, I still can't figure out how to set this small shadow programmatically. Now I'm all curious! Anyone know?

Francisco,

Generally this less pronounced shadow is produced by giving an NSPanel the "Utility" style in IB. As I've never had to do it programmatically, I don't know what the relevant method would be to set this style, but I'm sure it's a style on the NSWindow class, not NSPanel.

This works fine, however, for some reason the shadow on this window is less pronounced than on normal aqua windows. I've included images below:

Normal window:




My Window:




I've called invalidateShadow several times but that didn't help. Is there some sort of window shadow style that I am supposed to set or something?

Thanks,

Francisco
