Q: 

How to get notified when window order or position on Mac has changed?

My program needs to observe changing in windows order and position. Like when some window gets above another or moves somewhere. Could it be performed with Cocoa (Window Services, Notification API)?

A: 

Do these windows belong to your app?

If so then just register for the following notifications: NSWindowDidBecomeMainNotification NSWindowDidResignMainNotification NSWindowDidMoveNotification NSWindowDidResizeNotification

If the windows don't belong to your app then you might have to use a timer.
