Keeping the shadow would be difficult, but transparency:

spec.option = CGSLeft | (1<<7);

First, thanks for this great example.

Now I have one question: What needs to be done that the shadow of the window remains during the transition? Perhaps you can post some code...

A quick question:
would it be possible to implement a rotation of the screen in a clockwise/counter-clockwise direction?
ie a workaround for displaying the screen in portrait mode for those nvidia display card owners (like 12″ powerbook) who dont’ get the rotate option in the dispay preferences.
the CGSSetWindowTransform method sounds intriguing as a possible solution.
Or if you can control the cube transition to rotate on a different axis.
