Thank you for your suggestion,
However I have already tried this but as soon as the window lose the
status of first responder the mouseMoved events are not got anymore.
Untill you need mouseEnter / exit on certain areas this solution is
fine.. but not for mouseMoved events... at least in cocoa.

It certainly must, but I am afraid that in this case Apple leave you
no alternative :( Please do file a bug/enhancement report -- this
question has been raised a dozen times, and I can think of some very
useful applications of being able to intercept the mouse, but
polling would be very bad as it would probably drain the battery on
portables... not to mention that for one application I have in mind,
polling would simply not work, since I need *every* single mouse
moved event.
Could you perhaps create a 100% transparent window up at a high level
(screen saver window level?) and use that to track mouse position?
Cheers,
