Creating a non-movable, non-titled window is _trivial_. Just

Why would it be necessary to make a subclass? Shouldn't it be
possible to pass NSBorderlessWindowMask as the "styleMask" parameter
in -[NSWindow initWithContentRect:styleMask:backing:defer:] to get a
window with no title bar (which thus can't be dragged)?
Yes, but the OP didn't want to create the window in code. That's not
so unreasonable -- I'd prefer to use IB to create the window and fill
in UI components, like with any other window. You *could* create a
content view in IB, create the borderless window in code, then swap in
the content view. But that seems like slightly more work.
Back when I made the much-hated metallic windows a user pref, I used
this approach so that I could use the same nib file to load a window
and decide at runtime, depending on the user pref, whether it should
be textured or not.
