Re: Drawing Directly onto an NSWindow

I put an image of my daughter, named Background.jpg (I renamed it for the purpose, thank you very much), into the application bundle, and had this in the window's controller:

@implementation Controller

- (void) awakeFromNib
{
NSImage * background = [NSImage imageNamed: @"Background"];
[myWindow setBackgroundColor: [NSColor colorWithPatternImage: background]];
}

@end

The window's background is now the picture of my daughter instead of the stripes. The image is not scaled; it is rooted to the lower-left corner; it is truncated if it lacks room, and repeated if there is room to spare.

As nothing else happened to the NSWindow, I assume event handling goes on as before.

Is there any way to draw an NSImage (retrieved from the main bundle)
directly onto a window so that the window still receives the normal mouse
events (instead of using an NSView and blocking the window from getting
events such as mouseEnter and mouseDrag)?
