I do not criticize Apple for designing their API to support their GUI conventions. It just so happens that GUI conventions can change (in this case, the user *does* want my window on top all of the time. No they don't want to interact with the window all of the time, but they want ot *see* it on top all of the time). The window only takes up a small portion of the screen and it provides the user with information that s/he needs as s/he uses the other applications on the desktop. If they really don't want to see it, they can dismiss it. In Windows, this is easy. In System 7, this is near impossible. Again, I am critizing anyone, just noting that Windows gives me the flexibility to implement requirements which improve upon (my opinion) existing GUI standards. –Jim
