Sheets and transparency

From:: Vernon Thommeret

Hey,

I was wondering if using standard AppKit sheets is something that's 
supported with TwUI or if it should be implemented manually? I'm more or 
less able to host a TuiView in a sheet, but I can't seem have the sheet be
appropriately transparent without it glitching out:

This is the particular setup I'm using:

If I switch to using a solid color for the background, it works, but isn't
ideal. I'll probably move away from a sheet for this particular solution, 
but I was curious if it's possible to pull off?

Thanks!
Vernon

On my phone so I can't try it now - but see what happens with a 
setOpaque:NO on your tuiContainer

I was able to subclass TUINSView and implement (bool)isOpaque, which fixed
the glitchy drawing. There's an ab_setIsOpaque method, but it's 
deprecated. Strangely just creating the panel and showing it, it's still 
not transparent (isOpaque returns NO) but that doesn't seem like a 
TwUI-specific issue since throwing up an alert sheet is transparent, so 
I'll keep investigating.

Thanks,
Vernon
