Sure. Just handle the mouseDown:, mouseDragged:, and mouseUp: messages, adjusting the frame as appropriate. NSWindow inherits from NSResponder. See the discussion of these techniques in the documentation:

See Apple's RoundTransparentWindow sample code for an example.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/RoundTransparentWindow/
Also the FunkyOverlayWindow sample code:

Yes. You've asked this repeatedly and been given the answer. Create a borderless window with a transparent interior. The same samples illustrate this, too.
