I don't think that's what he meant. A more or less global window can be
set in Interface Builder (just check the checkbox "Non-activating
panel" for your panel)
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).
