I have a custom about box, and it's sort of like Adobe apps, where it's not a traditional window but a graphic/image I made that is a shape like a hexagon with a drop shadow.
It works fine and I can call it and I disable the window background by setting the window alpha to 0.999.
One little tiny issue is that when I invoke the about box, for just a millisecond I sort of see the window bounds and background, and then it goes away. The second time I show the about box the blink of background window is not present.
Is there some way to not have that flash happen the first time? I'm not doing anything in init or awakeFromNib, only this:
-(IBAction)showAboutWindow:(id)sender
{
if(!aboutWindow)
[NSBundleloadNibNamed:@"AboutWindow"owner:self];
[aboutWindowsetBackgroundColor:[NSColorclearColor]];
[aboutWindowsetAlphaValue:0.9999999]; //will only show transparent backgrounds if set to something less than 1.0
[aboutWindowcenter];
[aboutWindowsetStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask];
[aboutWindowmakeKeyAndOrderFront:nil];
}
I tried setting some of the settings in awakeFromNib but they didn't seem to apply properly.
Thanks, Chris
