Hello,
I am trying to put a window above the desktop but below the desktop
icons. I have achieved this by using the following code (in my own
subclass of NSWindow):
[self setLevel:kCGDesktopIconWindowLevel - 1];
I can see that it at least visually works by using:
[self setBackgroundColor:[NSColor redColor]];
[self setAlphaValue:0.5];
This half transparent red color covers the desktop, but not the
desktop icons. So far, so good. The problem however, is that my window
intercepts all mouse clicks, even if I click on an icon. I've set up a
simple test by handling |mouseUp:| in the following way:
NSLog(@"Received %d clicks", [theEvent clickCount]);
I get this log message for all clicks, even when clicking desktop
icons. I've also tried to subtract 1 from the window level for each
click, to try each subsequent window level but the problem persists
att all available window levels, all the way to the lowest one (which
seems to be -2147483647, after which I get a "PSsetwindowlevel, error
setting window level (1001)" error).
Is there any way at all to put a window at the desired level, between
desktop and desktop icons, but still not have it intercept clicks from
icon areas?
regards
