Re: Adding menu to right side of system menu bar

It's NSStatusItem. If you want to get yours installed to the far right, I think it involves something funky like force-quitting the SystemUIServer and getting it to reload you first. Or you could violate Apple's private SPI and implement your item as a MenuExtra, which can be dragged wherever the user chooses.

Halfway helpful,

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out how to add a menu to the right side of the
system menu bar in OS X, much like the monitors and sound prefs panels do.

I'm not finding any clues in my searches, though. Where is this documented?

I believe this is called a status item, and I *think* you have to write them
in Cocoa.
