Not necessarily. It is a delightful, yet little-known, fact that sheets can
emerge from *anywhere* on a window - not merely from its top. So why not
have the sheet emerge from a spot on the window where it won't cover any
important info? For example you could have the sheet emerge from the *lower
edge* of the window. (If the window is low on the screen, it moves upwards
automatically to permit the display of the sheet.) This is unusual but only
because (IMHO) not enough developers take advantage of this feature! :) m.
