Making Spotlight Search Bar like view in Objc/Swift

Question

I'm trying to replicate spotlight's view behaviour. Have added blurred adaptive background to NSWindow using:

NSVisualEffectView *visualEffectView =  [[NSVisualEffectView alloc] initWithFrame:[self bounds]];
[visualEffectView setAutoresizingMask:NSViewWidthSizable | NSViewHeightSizable];
visualEffectView.material = NSVisualEffectMaterialMediumLight;
visualEffectView.blendingMode = NSVisualEffectBlendingModeBehindWindow;
visualEffectView.wantsLayer = true;
visualEffectView.state = NSVisualEffectStateActive;
visualEffectView.layer.cornerRadius = 7.5;
[self addSubview:visualEffectView];

The problem is that background does work, but text and other elements inside the window don't adapt to the background below window correctly.

Here is the image.

Solved. By adding subviews to visualEffectView instead of self.
