Alternative method for canDrawSubviewsIntoLayer prior to OSX 10.9

I needed to implement the following code in my image view in order to properly set the gif:

self.homeView.radarImageView.animates = YES; self.homeView.radarImageView.canDrawSubviewsIntoLayer = YES; self.homeView.radarImageView.image = currentData.radarImage;

Unfortunately, the canDrawSubviewsIntoLayer method canDrawSubviewsIntoLayer not compatible with OSX until 10.9. Is there an alternative approach that I can use that will make this work in OSX 10.7 and higher?

avoid views based on layers below 10.8 and below, as they don't seem to mix with animated gifs

see: How to display an animated GIF in Objective-C on top of a layered view?

edit:

as indicated in the comment, you can draw gradients (and all other effects without using layers)
For gradients, for example, there is an NSGradient that accepts NSColors and can fill a rectangle

shameless plug:

NSView that can draw everything you ever wanted in its background: color, gradient, patttern image, just image, frame, rounded corners ... all in one view https://github.com/Daij-Djan / DDBackgroundView
