Possible to create menubar application? (Mac)

[SomDude]

Hello,
Is it possible to create a menubar application for mac? (menubar being the one with the file-edit-view options)
Thank You.

All Macintosh applications have a menubar: so, can you explain exactly what you mean
by a "menubar application"?

Do you mean that you would like to know how to implement a menubar in your standalone
that is "jazzier" than the rather "non" one a standard standalone build produces?

I have never done this, so I'm not going to try to advise you: what I am going to do, though
is suggest you have a look at this:

Hi SomDude,

what Richmond said!

But I recommend the "Menus" stack from the scripting conferences, that's a bit more up-to-date:
http://www.hyperactivesw.com/revscriptc ... ences.html

And the other stacks on that page aren't too shabby either!


Best

The OP may mean a system menu extension, an icon that appears at the top right of the system menu bar. There's no way to do that yet as far as I know.

Don't think so:

Well, I am grateful for this posting and my misunderstanding as I use this sort of thing
in my XFCE desktop top panel all the time:

and really didn't know how to describe them.
