Again, DON'T do it unless there's a really appropriate reason for the app to be useful. (I think a blue window would look cool is not a great reason) Read the Human Interface Guidelines. If you REALLY think you need this, look at the Stickies sample code (may be named Core Data Stickies, don't recall precisely). You'll see how to roll your own window. It's a fair bit of work and you will need to familiarize with the docs on NSWindow and friends carefully. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
