FWIW, Word uses the genie effect to show/hide it's palettes, but I
could not find any evidence that it uses CoreGraphics for this...
but it predates Quartz Composer by far... so I have no idea how
they're doing it. Then again, it's some kind of evil bastard
application (i.e. Carbon), so I really can't debug it. :)
As far as I am aware, Word takes a snapshot of the palette and then
uses a borderless window to draw a custom transform, as suggested
earlier in the thread. This is IMHO much safer than relying on
private APIs. But I read the discussion on your page so I'm aware of
your views on that. :)
