- OK.
-
- I've almost got it.
-
- But.
-
- How in blazes are you supposed to make a window that can not be moved? I
- know you have to use the initContext:... stuff (i.e. not use IB's palettes).
- I tried passing a style of NX_PLAINSTYLE to the window but the doggone title
- bar was logically there.
-
- Then I tried to subclass Window and just make all of the moveTo:: methods and
- dragFrom: methods do nothing.
-
- Then I tried to redefine the screen to be 10 pixels longer on each border and
- make the window so big the title bar won't be on the screen (by using
- initContext with screen, and getting the mainScreen and modifying its borders
- a bit). But that seems to make a background picture.
-
- What am I doing wrong? I know this breaks every NeXT interface rule that
- applies, but damn the rules, I wanna go full speed ahead.
-
- Or something like that.
-
- Any help'd be GREATLY appreciated.
