Getting CustomWindow with [ NSWindowController window ]

Hi there,

I saw some messages about this on the archives, but not about this
specific issue. I have to subclass NSWindow because it is Borderless,
so I override in LogWindow.m with :

- (id)initWithContentRect:(NSRect)contentRect styleMask:(unsigned
int)styleMask backing:(NSBackingStoreType)backingType defer:(BOOL)flag
{
    self = [ super initWithContentRect:contentRect
styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:backingType defer:flag ];
    [ self setHasShadow: NO ];
    [ self setOpaque: NO ];
    [ self setBackgroundColor: [NSColor clearColor]];
    return self;
}

I load this window with :
LogWindowController = [[ NSWindowController alloc ]
initWithWindowNibName: @"logWindow" ];

Great, now I have to use it !, if I do a :
[ LogWindowController showWindow ];
but nothing happen.

After this, I have to get the window object of the controller, to store
it in a NSDictionary, but I have an incompatible pointer type :
LogWindow *myLogWindow;
LogWindow = [ myLogWindowController window ];

The problem is that window: method return NSWindow, not LogWindow.

Any idea to use multiple instance of the same window in IB ?

Thanks
