How would you start to do this? Do you need to create a bundle? I have searched for NSMenu's in the Menu Bar and nothing has came up for your own. :eek: Anything in the right direction would be nice!

If you mean the status bar icon you must add:
Code: 
<key>LSUIElement</key>
<true/>
to your Info.plist file to make it "dockless", then just add a status item programmatically:

Code: 
statusItem = [[NSStatusBar systemStatusBar] statusItemWithLength:30];
[statusItem setTarget:self];
[statusItem setAction:@selector(showMenu)];
[statusItem setHighlightMode:YES];
[self setStatusItem:statusItem withValue:@"MenuTitle" andImage:nil];
[statusItem retain];

Hope that helps,
Manty
