Making Xcode application Hi guys I am slowly learning Quartz Composer and have a few patches I would like to use for a digital signage project. What I need is to be able to launch the patches full screen at different times of the day through ical. So what I would like to do is wrap a quartz composition in an xcode application so when it is launched from ical it goes to full screen automatically and loops. I have had a look at the xcode examples like quartz player and would like to adapt this code for my needs but I can't seem to get it to load my compostion, without selecting it when quartz player loads. So I am really needing some advice on how to achieve an application that loads a quartz composition and goes to fullscreen and whether there is a better way to do this. Thanks for the help. Steve

steve, i'm writing this on the train back from newcastle, so the timing is less than stellar but i could help you with this. in the tiger days i released the *spark titler, which has the code you need, and there's a better way to do it now in leopard.
sending through an xcode project shouldn't be so hard, but ideally we should sit down for a day and go through this whole world. not sure when i'll next be in newcastle, but i certainly have been up and down like a yo-yo of late.

This seems like a task that lots of people may like to do and it is something that I know I would like to be able to do. Would it be too much trouble for you to put together a Wiki entry on the process?
I started a wiki topic for this a couple days ago actually: http://kineme.net/wiki/ProgrammingWithQuartzComposer
Feel free to create specific pages or sections for accomplishing this, and we (kineme + everyone) can fill in details as time permits.
