I have a nifty desktop window behaving nicely behind my finder
icons. I'd like for that window to stay visible, even when my app is
hidden. Is there some attribute of the window I can set to allow this?
In Leopard, you can use kHIWindowBitDoesNotHide with
HIWindowChangeAttributes. Prior to Leopard, the only way to get this
behavior is to create your window using kUtilityWindowClass. Note that
you can create a window of arbitrary appearance as a utility window -
you don't need to get the floating window appearance that's the
default for kUtilityWindowClass - by using CreateCustomWindow with a
WindowDefSpec that specifies the procID of the window you want,
together with kUtilityWindowClass as the windowClass parameter to
CreateCustomWindow.
