In the future, you may want to use two separate threads for two
separate questions. If the subject contains the question, people who
know something about the topic will notice them more easily and it's
more likely you get a response.
- does itunes support plug-ins other than visual? if so, where can i find
documentation available on that subject?
AFAIK iTunes only uses QuickTime codecs and visuals as plugins. I
don't think there are any others. But I may be wrong.
- how can i put a view between the desktop picture and the active windows
and desktop icons?
Change the window level. (setLevel: or setLayer: or something like
that). Somewhere in CoreGraphics, there's a couple of constants like
kCGDesktopWindowLevel, kCGDesktopIconsWindowLevel (or something to
that effect), and if you use that level, your window can be behind
the desktop (pretty pointless, usually), between the desktop and the
Finder's icons, or immediately in front of the icons but behind other
windows. There are other window levels that let you do even cooler
things.
