I tried your trick of doing it in awakeFromNib, AND I tried Keary
Suska's suggestion of using an NSModalSession.
Neither of those fixed the blue problem!
Keary's worked however for the other problem I was having, which is
that I wanted the window to stay ontop of the other windows from it's
own app.
However it is a bit toooo aggressive in doing this. I just want it to
stay ontop of windows from it's own app, not other apps.
Maybe this is a totally non-Mac thing? At least non OSX thing, I
think it was possible in MacOS9.

Hmm, it has always worked fine for me. I have:
@implementation ThreadedProgressIndicator
- (void)awakeFromNib
{
[self setUsesThreadedAnimation: YES];
}
@end
That is just a simple subclass of NSProgressIndicator. And then in
the main code:
[progressBar startAnimation: self];
[NSApp beginSheet: progressSheet
modalForWindow: myWindow
modalDelegate: self
didEndSelector: nil
contextInfo: nil];
This has worked just fine for me. I wonder what's different about
yours.

Unfortunately, this hasn't changed anything.
I can't make this as a separate thread. I'm porting code written
for the PC, and the original just doesn't work that way.
the useThreadedAnimation: trick didn't work unfortunatealy. I am
doing this:
[p setUsesThreadedAnimation:true];
but it doesn't work! Same greyness.
You are indeed correct about the whole loop thing. You have two
choices as I see it.
1. Spin the processing off in a separate thread. This is what
you ought to do.
2. Set your progress indicator to useThreadedAnimation: This
will cause it by some magic to draw itself in the appropriate
colour. You can then do away with the [p display] method which
is nice.
If you go with option 2, what i recommend doing is to subclass
NSProgressIndicator just so that it sets the threaded animation
property itself upon awakeFromNib.
You could possibly also possibly try calling display of the panel
itself.
