I'm confused by this. It certainly is possible to draw controls over any background you like.

To *draw* a control image, yes, but not to *have* an actual, working control.

I dont see why RB has to always call the methods to clear the underlying graphics to the window background?

RB is not doing so, the Control Manager is.

Ah, so then there are no such options when working with the Control Manager. From reading about it I had thought that the ControlUserPaneBackgroundProcPtr callback was providing for the same functionality? But it is hard to tell from the limited documentation if you are expected to do the erase in this or if you are simply supposed to provide color or pattern info for it to draw itself.

I've not tried to do this from that level, just fueling the debate;)

Thanks,
 James
