I'm trying to create a colored semi-transparent square area within a
window.
I'm creating a custom view, and then NSRectFill-ing the entire box
with a color whose opacity is set to 0.5,
in the hope that I can get the default gray/white lines of the window
to show through.
I thought the problem might be that the window beneath (i.e. the
superview) is not opaque.
If this is the problem, it seems I have to subclass the window just so
I can override the isOpaque method.
Or is there just a much better way to achieve the desired result?
I know that NSBox can give you a light-gray semi-transparent box, and,
I can replace the contents with a solid color. But obviously, neither
of these give me custom-color semi-transparency.
Thanks
Steve
