Ok, I've been looking into the Accessibility framework to get a windows position, width and height (and getting a call-back whenever this changes), but I can't get anything to work.

No #import's I try work either.

AXUIElementRef element;
AXObserverRef observer;
AXError error;

...

-(NSRect)getWindowRect {
NSRect result;
error = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(element, kAXPositionAttribute, (CFTypeRef *) &result.origin);
error = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(element, kAXWidthAttribute, (CFTypeRef *) &result.size.width);
error = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(element, kAXHeightAttribute, (CFTypeRef *) &result.size.height);
return result;
}


-(void)callback {
	NSRect rect = [self getWindowRect];
	/* creates an nsimage and sets it to windows background */
}

-(void)applicationDidFinishLaunching... {
pid_t pid = [[[NSWorkspace launchedApplications] objectForKey:@"AppName"] intValue];
element = AXUIElementCreateApplication(pid);
AXObserverCreate(pid, callback, &observer);
AXObserverAddNotification(observer, element, kAXWindowResizedNotification, nil);
...
CFRunLoopSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), AXObserverGetRunLoopSource (observer), kCFRunLoopCommonModes);
}

Hi Matt,

What function can I "plug into" in the Dock that contains an argument with the Dock's size and position? And more generally, how can I use APE (or another method) to achieve my goals?

Just a thought: You might be able to get this information with the accessibility framework, which could potentially be far more compatible.
