transparent overlay NSWindow

hi,

I want to build an NSWindow subclass displaying a quartz composer view. This window should be transparent, fullscreen and stay 'on top' permanently, whereas ALL mouse and keyboard input should be forwarded to all other application windows, as if my application would not exist but be only visible. The user should be able to see and interact with the menubar of other applications and so on...

I think I have to manipulate the responder chain to make the window subsystem believe my application frame would not exist, but am stuck here.

It would be great if someone could provide some starting input regarding this!
I'm quite new to Cocoa programming, but have some knowledge of quartz composer and including its view to a cocoa application...


Thanks a lot in advance,
alex
