In any event, It shouldn't be necessary to use a poser to make windows
with a different appearance, though. You can just use the technique
that Ken Dyke demonstrated in his AlphaWindow example.

I tend to limit my use of posing to cases where I'm debugging something
tricky and I want to (say) log all calls of a particular method in a
class, or if I'm patching around a bug in a base class.
The technique depicted this example is cute but not of the quality which
I've been trying to achieve. In order to achieve custom windows without
sacrificing dragging performance or transparency, unorthodox techniques
are needed.
My hat goes off to the iTunes, quicktime, and iPhoto engineers. I'm
curious about which methodology they used in their custom windows. It
wouldn't be necessary to use posing if I knew how to interact with the
graphics card directly or had access to some spiffy private APIs ;-)
