This is a bastardization of the menubar. It was not meant to contain the
control strip. Please re-implement the control strip if you want control
strip functionality, it worked fine as it was.
Many of you have been asking for a mechanism to provide global access to
certain features provided by your application. Dock menus are the way
to do
this.
Yes, and this is definitely a good addition to the API. Well done :-)
Please note that the menu extras area of the main menu bar is not
being made available to 3rd party developers at this time and is
reserved by
Apple for hardware and networking related items.
Like the script menu? :rolleyes:
The Dock is intended to be
the point of entry for 3rd party developers providing this type of
global
access functionality.
Despite the fact you just stated that the API (Dock Extras) is going
away? What?
