I don't think there's a NS...WindowLevel constant that applies, so you'll have to play around a little to get that right. It's probably worthwhile to file a bug requesting a symbolic constant for this.

There's a CGDesktopWindowLevel somewhere in the Quartz headers, IIRC. Those are exchangeable with the NSxxxWindowLevels, so just use that one.


Focusing the window and typing into it should work fine, although (as the window is so low down) keeping it visible may prove somewhat of a problem. By default, Expose will probably move your window offscreen along with everything else - I'm not sure offhand how you can disable this.

There's a flag you can set to make a window fade out in that case, I think. Might have been Carbon-only code, not sure anymore.
