Can someone direct me to some documentation that explains how to draw, using NSAffineTransforms, NOT in a window? I want my app to appear on the desktop, optionally floating above other apps or behind them.

The experts on this subject are probably subscribed to one of the other mailing lists (quartz-dev or cocoa-dev, perhaps; <http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo >).

That said, you don't draw outside of a window. You create a big mostly-transparent window at the proper window level. You do (mostly) opaque drawing on that window and it looks like you've drawn outside of a window.

Cheers,
Ken
