[window setOpaque:NO]; // makes no difference After further investigation here is what I found out. Using the window background color property is unreliable with or without alpha. For example some rgb component values less than 1.0 are clamped. Also rgb components must conform to certain requirements to successfully produce a transparent background. A single color component value of rgb must be 1.0 or less as expected. However two color component values of rgb must be 0.588 or less and three color component values of rgb must be 0.572 or less to successfully produce a transparent background. A solution that works it to replace the window content view with a custom view that has a background color property. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33595674/set-background-color-of-nswindow-with-appearance-set --Richard Charles ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Re: PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion
You might take a look back at the TextEdit source.

I can't explain the differences in the two cases, but are you also setting the
window's opaque property to NO? If not, then setting the background color to
partially transparent is not sufficient to reliably make a window transparent.

Re: Window With Transparent Background
What is the point of a transparent sheet?
I'm not sure that's supported.
You might want to consider a child window instead. Much easier to be sure you
can control its behaviors.

There is an open specification for the file format, which will allow you to easily (if tediously) write your own exporter.

PDF to Word ( docx) Conversion
Hi All I have a report that I currently print to PDF. Its a simple table with text ( varying fonts ) in the table. I have tried to convert it to docx with a variety of proprietary converters. One or two of them do a reasonable job. But the bottom line is, I think, to get a Word doc that really behaves like a Word doc ( in word ) I need to export straight to docx format.

That would be Set up the constants, as given in your email: let dist0 = 100, dist1 = 200 let scale0 = 1.0, scale1 = 3.0 Then given `dist` you get the matching `scale`: let scale = (dist - dist0) / (dist1 - dist0) * (scale1 - scale0) + scale0 Make sure everything’s converted to double if necessary.

Window With Transparent Background
Consider a window presented as a sheet with background transparency.
- (void)windowDidLoad
{
// Produces gray background with transparency.
NSColor *color = [NSColor colorWithRed:0.5 green:0.5 blue:0.5 alpha:0.9];
self.window.backgroundColor = color;
}
- (void)windowDidLoad
{
// Produces near white background with no transparency.
NSColor *color = [NSColor colorWithRed:0.6 green:0.6 blue:0.6 alpha:0.9];
self.window.backgroundColor = color;
}
The first case produces a background with transparency.
The second case produces a background with no transparency.
Why does’t the second case yield any transparency?

FSEventStreamCallback in Swift
My app shows a representation of the contents of various folders, so
using FSEvents to track modifications from outside the app seemed to be
the way to go. I am running into difficulty with writing the code with a
callback, all in Swift. I must be doing something wrong, as I get a
crash in the callback.
Code in my ViewController class:
let scanTarget = []
let scanCallback: FSEventStreamCallback = { (streamRef:
ConstFSEventStreamRef, context: UnsafeMutableRawPointer?, count: Int,
streamPtr: UnsafeMutableRawPointer, flags:
UnsafePointer?, eventID:
UnsafePointer?) in
// Convert to appropriate pointer
let theController = context?.bindMemory(to:
ViewController.self, capacity: 1)
// The following line crashes with a bad address exception
theController?.pointee.
}
var mutableSelf = self
var theContext = FSEventStreamContext(version: 0, info:
&mutableSelf, retain: nil, release: nil, copyDescription: nil)
let scanInterval: CFTimeInterval = 5.0
eventStream = FSEventStreamCreate(nil, scanCallback,
&theContext, scanTarget as CFArray,
FSEventStreamEventId(kFSEventStreamEventIdSinceNow), scanInterval,
FSEventStreamCreateFlags(kFSEventStreamCreateFlagUseCFTypes))
I may well have the wrong way of handling the conversion through the
context with all the unsafe pointer types, as I'm still rather new to Swift.
