James,

as for using whole window (I am just paraphrasing for I am returning this to the list for benefit of other readers), IMHO, semi- transparent (and, depending on the task, possibly also click-through) child windows are one of hidden gems of Cocoa: comparatively small number of programmers is aware of them, and there's even smaller number of those who can use them right.

The child windows are very convenient though, using them is not difficult at all, and they work like a charm: I use them for a number of tasks, from my own corner tips (like those in Xcode; unlike them though, mine are never multiplicated when the view scrolls :)) to selecting areas (like in iPhoto).
