I've used a code from the Net, which adds a category to NSApplication. This
code was tested in both 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 and works perfectly. No problems
here. Moreover, I've changed the drawing code to make it to be more clear.
My initial goal was just to draw the upper part of background image (the
same for several windows), whereas windows have different height. Therefore
I calculate an offset value, which is used in setPatternPhase, as
[myView bounds].size.height - [myBgImage size].height
And I've tried to exclude version checking from the code. A person, who
reported a bug in 10.6, now tells that all is OK. But I've tested this
version in 10.6 and in 10.4 and in both versions there is a shift for 1
pixel down. It looks like my NSView is shifted for 1 pixel. But its frame
top is zero. Its height is the same in every OS... Just a weird problem...
Best regards,
Alexander

While there could be a drawing but in the OS, it's probably best to rule
out issues with your code first. How do you determine the OS version? I
ask because that's the only version-specific test in your drawing code. I
would do something like this to initialize the variables:
double majorOSVersionNumber = floor(NSAppKitVersionNumber);
isLeo = NO;
isSnowLeo = NO;
if (majorOSVersionNumber > NSAppKitVersionNumber10_4)
{
if (majorOSVersionNumber > NSAppKitVersionNumber10_5)
isSnowLeo = YES;
else
isLeo = YES;
}
You should not being doing tests like "if (NSAppKitVersionNumber ==
NSAppKitVersionNumber10_5)" since that will only be true for 10.5.0, but
will fail for 10.5.1, 10.5.2, etc. The value of NSAppKitVersionNumber is
incremented by an integer amount for 10.x releases and by a fractional
amount for 10.x.x releases.

I've written a subclass of NSView, which draws a NSImage, as the
background. All is working, but the only problem is in different
behavior on different Macs / OS versions. Here is the drawing code:
@interface BGSkinView : NSView {
NSImage *bg;
BOOL isLeo, isSnowLeo;
}
......................
- (void)drawRect:(NSRect)rect {
NSGraphicsContext *ctx;
CGFloat y;
ctx = [NSGraphicsContext currentContext];
[ctx saveGraphicsState];
y = [self bounds].size.height;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (!isLeo)
y++;
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
[ctx setPatternPhase:NSMakePoint(0, y)];
//
[[NSColor colorWithPatternImage:bg] set];
NSRectFill([self bounds]);
//
[ctx restoreGraphicsState];
}
isLeo is true on 10.5 and isSnowLeo is true on 10.6
I tested this code on my Mac with both 10.4, 10.5 and 10.6 and have got
a shift of the image for one pixel down on 10.4 and 10.6. Therefore I've
added the condition, selected above. But now I've got a report from
another 10.6 Mac, where my code shifts the background for one pixel up.
Thus, my patch with y++ should be disabled there.
As far as I understand, this effect is caused not by OS version, but by
some graphic subsystem feature. Could anybody tell me, what is this
one-pixel shift? Maybe it's some border, drawn outside of my view, which
I don't see?
