Hi, I didn't find out how to use the kCGDesktopWindowLevel directly, but you can use the kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey constant if you use a capital K at the beginning. So the call:
window.setLevel(CGWindowLevelForKey(KCGDesktopWindowLevelKey)) works. I looked at the CoreGraphics.bridgesupport in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/CoreGraphics.framework/Resources/BridgeSupport and it only provides the constant kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey not kCGDesktopWindowLevel. Thanks for the quick respond.
