Is Apple being a liar as regards the brushed metal window contraption? < http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/Carbon/ HumanInterfaceToolbox/WindowManager/HandlingWindowsControls/hitb- wind_cont_concept/chapter_2_section_6.html > Says here that the metal brushed attribute is available to a MovableModal class, but it won't work (-5601 error), even if made Compositing attribute as it says to...what's strange is that the Appearance example of the document class works, without being compositing it would seem. > kWindowMetalAttribute The window has a metallic appearance (Mac OS X, > version 10.2 and later). Available only for document and movable modal > window classes. If you specify this attribute, you must also specify > the kWindowCompositingAttribute. rc
