transparent views and window shadow interference


  • Subject: transparent views and window shadow interference

I would like a text view to be semi-transparen like the Terminal app. I've invoked setOpaque:NO on the window, and set the background color on the text view to be semi-transparent. This works exactly great -- until the window's shadow is invalidated (switch windows, etc).

Upon redraw, the window draws its shadow inside the text view, slightly darkens the transparent background, and shadows all the text. Worse yet, scrolling the text exhibits that a "burn-in" effect of the text has occurred.

What am I doing wrong?
