Having an NSWindow always stay in background while still accepting mouse events

I need to have an application, with exactly one window, that always stays behind any other possible applications, while still accepting mouse events (so you can draw on it)

I subclassed NSWindow to create a window with NSBorderlessWindowMask. I also did override canBecomeKeyWindow to always return NO, but that does not seem to help.

Any ideas on this?

Problem solved.

[self setLevel:CGWindowLevelForKey(kCGDesktopWindowLevelKey+1)] did the trick!
