I just noticed that floating panels in Cocoa that don't hide on
deactivate actually float above the windows of ALL applications.
Back in the good ol' bad ol' days (Mac OS 9 and earlier), floating
windows lived in the application's layer and never floated above any
other apps windows. That's the behavior I need now in Cocoa and I can't
figure out how to get it. Amusingly, a search of the archives resulted
in a lot of queries as to how to get the default behavior (floaters
float above all apps), but not the behavior I'm looking for (my
floaters float above my apps windows, but not others).
Presumably, because of the Mac OS X's window ordering policy (no
concept of an application "layer") it's up to me manually manage the
level of my window when my app activates and deactivates...
Any other ideas?
