Thanks, Chris. I haven’t used undocumented Core Graphics functions on views at all, but Seoxys’ suggestion sounds reasonable.

Any way to use the Genie effect on an NSView inside a window? Basically doing an NSView to NSView effects instead of NSWindow to NSWindow.

It might be possible to force the shadow to stay during the transition. I think I recall doing this sometime, but I’m not certain. If I find anything I’ll post it up here.

I was really looking for it for a long time! Thanks very much! But as i see, there is a little bug with shadow, it disappears when transaction begins Any ideas, how to fix that?

It works on Intel, building by it self separately is a bit shaky, but i managed to backup the download and renovate the application and build it into my personal one. It was hard but managed to conceal them in a box in a drawer belonging to NSWindow.

[…] Look familiar? The Mac OS X genie effect is a patented effect that is set as the default minimizing effect for windows in the Mac environment. Dating back to 2004, this animation involves a complex transformation of the source window in order to render it correctly on screen. Apple have not documented this feature for use in third party applications. It is something else that makes up the private portion of the Core Graphics framework. However, keen developers like yourself can play with / use / abuse this awesome effect all you like. […]

[…] Lately, inspired by John Gruber’s recent assertions that the Apple Human Interface Guidelines are no longer relevant (a good summary can be found here), the new, fancier widgets made by various Cocoa developers have come into the spotlight. Daniel Jalkut, a Very Cool Guy, developed a bunch of very nifty widgets while revamping the interface for his unbelievably cool application FlexTime, and was so kind as to blog about his thought process while doing it. His blog entry pointed me to Matt Gemmell’s enormous stack of custom-made widgets, replete with shiny screenshots. My interest piqued, I fired up Google and found Sean Patrick O’Brien’s iLifeControls framework, a class-dumped version of Disco’s Smoke framework, Toxic Software’s Toxic Progress Indicator and TXTableView, Chad Weider’s badging and gradient code, Blake Seely’s BSRoundedBox, Andy Matuschak’s Polished Metal buttons, AMViewAnimation, and OpenHUD framework, Andreas M.’s jaw-dropping amount of custom widgets, Erling Ellingsen’s CGSWindowWarp exposé, John Pannell’s PSMTabBarControls, Uli’s freakin’ plethora of awesome doodads, Rainer Brockerhoff’s RBSplitView, and Ankur Kothari’s CoreGraphics framework.
