Does anyone know how this might be done?

Matt,

If this goes back to your previous post about wanting to do a Carbon based saver then the short answer is that you probably don't want to do that, even if you can figure it out. Security and all.

But, there may be a workaround if all you want to do is allow your code to be seen and the screensaver's view is jumping on top of you. Just set your Cocoa saver's view to be completely transparent. We do this in Fluid so that we can recapture the desktop when we reset at regular intervals. Works like a charm and the saver engine is still in control of things.

I don't know if that will solve your problem or just create new ones, but it might be worth a try.
