If you draw your custom view in the status bar(or anywhere else), the
aqua window pattern will show through it. To highlight it, call this
method:
[[NSColor colorWithDeviceRed:.2 green:.4 blue:.8 alpha:1] set];
then:
NSRectFillUsingOperation([imageView frame], NSCompositePlusLighter);
where imageView is the custom view that you are working with.
If you are really picky you can tweak the color a little to have it
match the true system highlight color. There should be a way to figure
it out programaticly, but I don't know that much about color math.
There is a method to find the standard highlight color, which is what
should be used.

Hello,
I saw your message where you were writing a custom NSStatusItem. I'm
doing the same now too. If I may ask, you create your own NSView for
the NSStatusItem. How does one draw the menu with the blue background
and show the menu itself? It appears that creating an NSView overrides
both drawing /and/ behavior. I can't help but feel that I'm missing
something obvious.
Thanks,
Sanford
