No, you wouldn't want to toggleFullScreen on it - it would go off into its own space! We tweaked window levels for what seemed like good reasons in 10.7 fullscreen, and then those tweaks didn't work so well with 10.9 because Apple was using different levels for some UI parts than it had before. At WWDC, Apple advised against it. The setFrame issue might be an Apple bug which we reported but I don't have the rdar handy - it's applying the constraints as if there was a menu there, and there *is*, but it slides down as needed and should not prevent windows going into that area. > >> >>> On May 20, 2014, at 10:59 AM, edward taffel <etaf...@me.com> wrote: >>> >>>> >>>> On May 20, 2014, at 10:41 AM, Keary Suska <cocoa-...@esoteritech.com> >>>> wrote: >>>> >>>>> On May 20, 2014, at 8:17 AM, edward taffel wrote: >>>>> >>>>>> does anyone know where to find the definition of kCGStatusWindowLevel >>>>>> (NSStatusWindowLevel)? or alternatively, can anyone define it? >>>>> >>>>> NSStatusWindowLevel is declared in NSWindow.h, kCGStatusWindowLevel is >>>>> declared in CGWindowLevel.h.
