Webkitsdk-dev: Re: Transparent WebView.
This is what I was referring to on a previous post- It's an unsupported API, likely to break some day (unless we all lobby Apple for it!).
But that won't stop me from using it in my own little hacks- so here's an example project to show it off: TransparentWebViewHack.zip (10.3.9 required).
Here's a screen shot of what it does (with the desktop in the background):
You can even drag it around like it was Konfabulator thanks to NSWindow's setMovableByWindowBackground: and an NSView overlay. The screenshot doesn't really do it justice, if you are a developer- download it and you'll get it.
