i am working on an app that shows live generated content in full screen on my new macbook pro with monterey. it is meant to be projected in theatres etc. but because i use microphone input there is a visible orange dot in the upper right corner. how can i get rid of it?

when i try to draw a NSAttributedString with CoreText it won't display the NSShadow attribute. it will however work when i set the shadow with CoreGraphics before i draw but just not embedded in the attributed string. am i doing it wrong, or is it just not implemented in CoreText? CFAttributedString doesn't seem to have a shadow attribute. might that be the problem? see the code below i use for drawing with CoreText. best joerg NSShadow *shadow = [[NSShadow alloc] init]; shadow.shadowBlurRadius = 10; shadow.shadowOffset = NSMakeSize(0, 0); shadow.shadowColor = NSColor.redColor; NSAttributedString *attrString = [[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithString:@"this is a test" attributes:@{ NSForegroundColorAttributeName: NSColor.blueColor, NSShadowAttributeName: shadow, }];   CTLineRef line = CTLineCreateWithAttributedString((CFAttributedStringRef)attrString); CTLineDraw(line, currentContext); CFRelease(line);
