Hi list,
after trying several ways, I have set my window transparent, the NSTextView
transparent, and its NSScrollView transparent, so now the final effect is an
opaque text-string over other objects on the screen. Almost fine. Two new
problems occur now.

1) When I click on a transparent area of the Window (where there is no
text), the window is deselected and the object just under the window becames
selected. Wrong.

2) When I write the Text or resize the window, I get noise around the text.

It's probably not noise but the shadow of the window.


How can I fix these 2 problems? Thank you.

Currently I do this:
--------------------
[aWindow setBackgroundColor:[NSColor clearColor]];
[aWindow setOpaque:NO];
[[aTextView superview] setDrawsBackground:NO]; //the NSScrollView

I would not bet a lot on the superview being a NSScrollView. IIRC, it's a NSClipView.

[aTextView setDrawsBackground:NO];

IIRC, you need to replace the NSClipView drawing method with your own.
