There's also this page in the Apple docs that explains how to do
fullscreen windows in Cocoa with Quartz fullscreen capture:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/CocoaDrawingGuide/AdvancedDrawing/chapter_9_section_4.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003290-CH207-SW18

Basically, the screen is captured wit Quartz, a frameless window is
created with NSBorderlessWindowMask in Cocoa and placed above the
shielding window with CGShieldingWindowLevel.
Combine this with how MPlayerOSX does fullscreen by creating a second
window and switching the OpenGLContext's view between the two windows.

This way, there's no need for a fullscreen OpenGL view and
SetSystemUIMode could be removed. I might look into implementing this
for MPlayerOSX and if there's interest, port it to vo_macosx, too.
