This day’s tip came up in my development of the new Todos. With an NSSearchField you might find it difficult to find out [...]
Continuing the Cocoa Code Snippet series, I want to put up a nice useful method I add to most of my NSWindows. Consider making it a category. This bit of code will allow your windows to fade in and out nicely when they are closed. Before Leopard and Core Animation, you had to write your [...]
