Only the registration dialog is modal. The splash is not modal because it uses no interaction. It just shows up, some messages get set (in debug builds only), and it goes away when we're all done getting set up. Here's the code that runs after the nib has been loaded. I'm not sure if everything is needed - I didn't write this code: [splashWindow setLevel:NSFloatingWindowLevel]; [splashWindow setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]]; [splashWindow setOpaque:NO]; [splashWindow setHasShadow:NO]; [splashWindow invalidateShadow]; [splashWindow flushWindow]; [splashWindow display]; [splashWindow makeKeyAndOrderFront:nil]; SetPortWindowPort((WindowRef)[splashWindow windowRef]); [[NSApplication sharedApplication] nextEventMatchingMask:NSAnyEventMask untilDate:nil inMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode dequeue:NO]; The strange part is that it does NOT show if Cocoa is going to restore documents.
