CALayer, shadows, and performance.
On iPad, we get shadows on CALayers..
So, you can do this:
aView.layer.shadowColor = [[UIColor darkGrayColor] CGColor];
aView.layer.shadowOffset = CGSizeMake(3., 3.);
aView.layer.shadowOpacity = 0.8;

1.2 & OS 3.0
Reflections 1.2 has been out for a month or so. We need to update this more often. :)

Cocoa: The Subview Hierarchy
More useful code.. this time to print out the entire hierarchy of subviews below any particular view. For maximum usefulness, put this in a category* of UIView:
- (void)OP_printSubviewsOfView:(UIView*)view {
static NSInteger depthCount = 0;
NSArray *subview_array = [view subviews];
NSMutableString *tabString = [NSMutableString

Cocoa: The Responder Chain
Here is a helpful little method that you can use to print out the responder chain above a particular instance.
- (void)_printNextResponder {
id nextObj = self;
while (nextObj) {
NSLog(@"nextResponder %@",nextObj);
nextObj = [nextObj nextResponder];
}
}
