Can these be done in Cocoa? What I'm looking for is a window that behaves like a utility window but that stays floating in all applications, like is used in Christ's Tree (it's on Apple's main Mac OS X downloads page, right now)? Can it be done in Cocoa? Can it be done in Carbon? I haven't been able to find how to do it at all, but I've seen a lot of evidence that it's possible. I haven't found any kind of documentation that has tipped me off, and all of my web searches on the topic have turned up dry - many examples of apps that use them, but none on how to make them.

See NSWindow's setWindowLevel method for the Cocoa way of doing it (and also see CGWindowLevel.h in CoreGraphics.framework).
