But there is one thing i can’t figure out how to do.
How do i make the window appear on the desktop.

Found the key you are looking for is: kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey,
had a look for example and found

“I think it would be better to do CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey)+1,
to make sure it’s above the regular desktop, but below everything else..”

This Seems to work.

CGWindowLevel  desktopWinLevel =  CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey)+1;
[desktopWinLevel setLevel:winLevel];
