AFAIK, status window level is for windows belonging to NSStatusItems. I am not completely educated on full screen issues, but I imagine since changing the window layer changes its behavior, the full screen semantics are using the window layer as a hint to handle resizing. Just for grins, what happens when you send -toggleFullScreen: to your overlay?
