My dialog box. it has no cuteness around the edges. size 100 100 

200 200, no title bar, no scroll bar etc...

I send these messages to this patcher on load

Is there a way I can keep max from drawing the window untill its done 

with that? right now theres all sorts of crazy stuf happening before 

/[minor] tag for fear of traffic mongering

this is a dumb example.. but save it, and then reload it.

Draw it well offscreen at load - 9999 9999 9999 9999 or such. Remove the scrollbars & titlebar etc while it's offscreen, then move it onscreen?

Awesome best dialog box evar. even fades away with io.window manager!

1) sending this patcher a crazy window size message,

that did the trick. (although it feels pretty dangerous.)

I made a useful abstraction "normalizes" windows by sending it a
