Check out www.bignerdranch.com, there is a sample project with some custom window in oval shape. I think that does what you want; worked great for me, though I did this with NSTextFields, but that shouldn't make a big difference.

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get text to only draw it's character (glyph)
without a background. I've tried setting the text storage attributes
using [NSColor clearColor] for the NSBackgroundColorAttributeName . I've
also tried calling [NSTextView setDrawsBackground:NO] which seems to
cause the layout manager to throw an exception with the following
message(s)


2002-06-14 10:00:06.118 *** NSRunStorage, _NSBlockNumberForIndex():
index (54) beyond array bounds (54)
2002-06-14 10:00:06.153 -[NSLayoutManager
_fillGlyphHoleAtIndex:desiredNumberOfCharacters:] *** attempted glyph
generation while textStorage is editing. It is not valid to cause the
layoutManager to do glyph generation while the textStorage is editing
(ie the textStorage has been sent a beginEditing message without a
matching endEditing.)
2002-06-14 10:00:06.156 *** NSRunStorage, _NSBlockNumberForIndex():
index (52) beyond array bounds (22)

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Bob M.
