Re: Communications between multiple NIB's

Hi,

Have you tried using the "FirstResponder" for this?

Add an action to the preferences window's nib's "FirstResponder" 
called "setWindowBackgroundColor".  Then connect the color well to 
the first responder and connect to that action.

If the window controller of the other window implements that action, 
it should hook up correctly through the responder chain.

Best,
Cathy
