Gustavo,
The best thing would probably be for you to read the documentation on
NSWindowController and NSWindow, then decide - based on your code's
functionality - where to make the best additions to your code to
accomplish your goal.

Ok i think I messed up a little.
the PanelShipController class is a sub class of NSWindowController,
which is the one in charge of loading the Panel. As fas as I have
read thas the best way to do it.
Now, if i understand good, I have to create my custom class which
inherits from NSPanel, and in IB the class of the HUD panel will be
then my custom NSPanel class. am I ok?
if so then, in that custom class , what, should I have a
NSViewAnimation attribute? to apply the fadeIn fadeOut, or
startFrame endFrame properties?
as you can see im kidna new, so any help (as you have done so far,
thanks btw) I would appreciate it,
Gustavo

Gustavo,
Yes - a HUD Panel is just a subclass of NSWindow.

Douglas hello.
will this apply also to the HUD Panel?, I was thinking something
similar but couldn't see a way to achieve it. inside the panel as I
said, I have my custom view, but I dunno how to play with it to
make it appear in a "fancy" way.
I will look at the example once i get home.
thanks

Gustavo,
Have you looked at the documentation for NSViewAnimation? This
will class gives you a number of options for manipulating several
attributes (frames, alpha, etc) for windows/views.
You might want to also take a look at the Reducer example, in
particular the Animated TabView Class that uses a custom
NSAnimation class along with some custom drawing to produce visual
effects using the default Core Image Transitions.
regards,

Hello, I have an application that has a HUD panel, now, when I
click the button to show the panel the HUD panel simply appears, I
was wondering if there is a way to make it appear in a diferent
way, kinda the way Aperture, or iPhoto shows such panels, that they
"scroll down", when needed.
I dunno how complex can this be.
Thanks for your help
