1) Is there a way to make a popup menu (popped by [NSMenu
popUpContextMenu:...] or any other method) look like a Dock menu?
2) and if yes, I need to position the menu's triangle point very
precisely, too...

may be a solution for your problem (or at least a starting point).
Yes, that's a good class. I'd actually talked this over with Matt
before posting here and we concluded it's too much work (in the
short term) to emulate all the little NSMenu details... icons,
scrolling, submenus, and whatnot.
It would have been nice, as I'm about to publish a little app that
brings Tiger-style nested folder popups back to the Dock. But I
guess for now users will have bear the lack of the little
triangle. ;-)
Would it be possible to use a custom MDEF to modify the appearance of
the menu?
