Hi Peter,

No, I don't think there's a way to make a pop up button's menu look
like a status item's menu.

Can you use -[NSStatusItem setMenu:]?  If not, could you please file a
bug describing why?

Thanks,
Ken

In Leopard, menus that pop up via ...

+ (void)popUpContextMenu:(NSMenu *)menu withEvent:(NSEvent *)event
forView:(NSView *)view [withFont:(NSFont *)font]

... are always displayed with rounded corners, which looks just wrong
with menus for certain kinds of custom pop-up buttons and, most
importantly, NSStatusItems that pop up their menus themselves --
instead of using NSStatusItem's built-in menu functionality.

On the other hand, generic menu bar menus _are_ displayed with sharp
upper corners.

So I was wondering: Is anyone aware of a way to change those corners
for a NSMenu or its underlying Carbon menu?

Thanks!

Peter.
