And as far as I can tell there is no way to tell the window server that you want to handle window movement yourself. I hope I'm wrong about all this maybe someone else has the solution, but it looks like the only way to do it is with a fake title bar.

I don't think that you can do this in Cocoa, but I'm fairly sure that you can do it in Carbon apps.


IMO the ability to ALWAYS move windows is one of the great advantages of Cocoa over Carbon. I really hate it when an Carbon app is unresponsive and you can't get it's windows out of the way. I secretly hope that they will remove the ability for Carbon apps to "lock" windows like that all together... It would be even better if they also made it so that I could always _hide_ an application, regardless of if it is responsive or not.

I understand that you need to hook into window movement events to be able to get snap-to-edge functionality working, but I wish it was possible to provide that functionality without also having to "steal" the control over application windows from the user.
