Well if you are planning on using an NSMenu, or something with just
text menu items, you should use NSStatusItem's setMenu message. In
this case, you would forgo using the custom view entirely. On the
other hand if you want to be more complicated and have a menu with
something like a slider in it, then you will need to override
NSView's mouseDown message. In your implementation, you will need
to write your own event loop to handle the events. See the apple
docs for more info on this and a good sample event loop to start
with.

Hi Thomas,
I am creating a custom view because I am dissatisfied with the way
MacOS X renders the NSStatusItem icons. They are elevated by two
pixels and get a drop shadow, which, for my purposes, just plain
looks bad. :-) (Unless, of course, there is a way around this.)
Regarding your earlier message, I believe if you lower the Alpha
Channel value you'll find that the racing stripes in the menubar
don't get wiped away.
Thank you for your excellent assistance.
Best,
Sanford
