Is there something I need to declare or import besides the 3 static variables and the framework? I basically copied most of the code. Does anyone have an idea why this simply doesn’t do anything?

Take a look at the docs again for NSWindow and you will find the method:

  • (void)setFrameOrigin:(NSPoint)point

That is the method that Matt is kicking in his example. You are right that there is no getter for it in the documentation but for this example one is not needed. In fact, this example could have piggy-backed off any number of properties on the NSWindow and achieved the same effect.

You create a dictionary entry with the CAKeyframeAnimation object returned by [self shakeAnimation:[window frame]] and the key @"frameOrigin". That seems to imply that NSWindow has a property or ivar called frameOrigin, but nothing in the headers or documentation identifies it. How do you know what keys you can use for CAKeyframeAnimation objects?</p> One detail bothers me.
