[Mono-osx] On GlossyClock

    is this the intended behavior? is it possible to make the windows 
really transparent, like in samples/RoundedTransparentWindow?

I do not see why this would not be possible.

I do not know if it is the intended behavior or not as it was a program 
that I grabbed from the site mentioned in the readme.  I was looking for 
a something simple that used CoreAnimation Layers so that I could 
implement the LayerManagement and Constrainment bindings in MonoMac.  It 
also used KVC and KVO which also helped me track down some more problems 
within MonoMac.

    Is it possible to achieve this somehow? I searched in the web, but 
found that overriding SendEvent() seems the choice to go.

The overriding of SendEvent is the only way I have used to do what you 
want.  Although have never tried it with MonoMac only obj-c.
