Yeah, I've pretty much solved the click regions (properly-sized standard rectangular IB buttons
), and after re-reading the original idea for the app I'm planning to just have the window fade to about 50% opacity and then back to 100% when a button's touched, then stay that way for two seconds before fading out. I'm using Objective-C, by the way - it's fast and it has better documentation than Java or Applescript.
