Thanks for the suggestion: I did not take a look at it because of Shirk's post saying the entire window is transparent (including the title bar etc.). Does anybody know of any other (open source) app that manages to do transparency right on 10.6? > I'm sorry to tell you this but figuring out transparency is not the problem..

I'm glad you took a look at the problem. I also managed to get to the "everything is transparent" stage, but obviously that is not good enough. The only way this would be useful is if we were to draw all the window decorations manually and make sure they are opaque, but this is a bit crazy. > What seems broken (or changed) in 10.6 is the feature to have a transparent > View within an otherwise opaque window.. Well, Terminal.app manages to do it...so it is definitely possible (but probably only by using some private API). By the way: transparency on pre-10.6 already did use a private API to disable a window shadow or something like that. So anybody looking into this problem need to keep the private API option in mind (it may be the only way to get this to work). Again, the best thing would be to find some other app that manages to do it and adapt that (obviously Terminal.app won't be of much help here, unless somebody at Apple were to give us a hint).
