Hi Johan,

Try looking at my junkyard. I once wrote a solitaire app (cardgame) which has a translucent window.
I found out that if I painted certain areas of the window with a solid color, I could keep areas of the window translucent or transparant.

I'd like to make my window's background transparent but keep the drawing in it at full opaqueness. Also the titlebar and resize widget I'd like to keep in the normal state. The only thing I could find now was [myWindow setAlphaValue:float]. The problem is that this alphavalue will be used for my entire window, so that my view, titlebar and everything is transparent too.

Terminal.app can do what I want, so I should be able to do so too. Any pointers, clues?


Love,
Jens
