Totally not worth it, but interesting exercise. But there is no API way to set the desktop picture on a per-screen, per-space basis.

The OS seems to be resizing or repositioning my window to prevent it from sliding under the menu bar even when positioned programmatically (ie not dragging). I think this is done by - (NSRect)constrainFrameRect:(NSRect)frameRect toScreen:(NSScreen *)screen, so you could probably just override that to return an unchanged rect to get your window under the menu bar. Nope - while did does prevent the window from resizing, as Eric Schlegel mentioned, the menu bar background is derived from the desktop picture.

Re: Any way to force a window under the menu bar?
I believe you could do this by setting the window’s level property to kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey (see https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/Quartz_Services_Ref/index.html#//apple_ref/c/tdef/CGWindowLevelKey https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/GraphicsImaging/Reference/Quartz_Services_Ref/index.html#//apple_ref/c/tdef/CGWindowLevelKey for the other values available to you) iain On 26 Jan 2015, at 04:39, Trygve Inda cocoa...@xericdesign.com wrote: I have created a borderless NSWindow.
