I am making a simple application that consists of a small HUD window

that A. it floats above everything, and B. when I switch to another
application, it remains on top.

Search the archives for example code showing how your app can be notified when an app switch occurs... m.

This isn't necessary, actually. Setting the window's level to
NSFloatingWindowLevel or so, and setting it to not hide on deactivate,
should be sufficient to make it stay above everything.

Really? He wants the HUD window to float above a certain *particular*
application — different from his own — and vanish when any other application
is frontmost. What, in your proposed architecture, would make it do that? m.


That's not what he said:
