Position window title offscreen
-
In a Carbon app, I can switch monitor resolution to "full screen,"
hide the menu bar, and then position my window such that its top
pixel of content as at the top of the screen. (This requires setting
kWindowNoConstrainAttribute.)
I don't seem to be able to do the same in Cocoa. No matter what, the
title bar remains entirely visible. (I've even tried getting the
Carbon WindowRef and using Carbon calls to move the window -- I'm not
sure this works at all.)
I tried subclassing NSWindow and overriding -
constrainFrameRect:toScreen:, but I don't really think this is
relevant (nor did it help).
I'd greatly prefer not deleting and recreating my NSWindow.

Leopard has built-in full screen abilities:
NSView
-enterFullScreenMode:withOptions:
-exitFullScreenModeWithOptions:;
-isInFullScreenMode;
Can you use those?
If not, try this:

I'd seen this, but it requires making separate windows depending on
whether you're in fullscreen or not. Carbon doesn't.
