There seem to be a lot of questions about implementing status items,
mouse event tunneling, login items, deamons, circumventing security and
authentication, bypassing standard control behavior, etc.
I am just curious what so many people are implementing that needs so
many outside-the-box solutions? Are we all implementing alternative
system preferences mechanisms and virtual file systems ? ;) Perhaps
the perceived need for so many products that explicitly violate Apple
specified and supported behavior is an indication that something
fundamental is missing or broken in Mac OS X.
My own preference is to never install haxies, themes, untrusted third
party system components, funky transparent windows that don't behave
like windows, deamons that need authentication or circumvent
authentication, etc. My own preference is clearly not shared by
others, or (what I fear) something critical is missing from Mac OS X
that forces many people to resort to such things in spite of the fact
that people share my reservations.

Hi,
I have a window A flowing on top of the screen which I want to not
only completely ignore certain mouse events, but to pass them on
to whatever other window B is below that window A, where B is most
likely controlled by another application. Is that possible at all?
