Unfortunately, Apple's default NSStatusItem implementation doesn't
offer any very clean way to be notified just before the menu is
displayed. This and other shortcomings of the standard StatusItem have
caused me to bite the bullet and implement my own custom view.
For your purposes, however, you can implement the "validateMenuItem"
routine in whatever class is the target for your menu items. This will
get you called at roughly the right time to change your icon back.

Hi,
I've created an status item app. To request user's attention in
special events the
icon in the system bar is changed. So, once the user clicks in it to
see the new
menu, that has been updated, I want to restore the default icon in the
system
bar, but have some problems because I cannot use the setAction method
of
NSStatusItem because it's only works when there is no menu attached to
the
item.
Is there any notification I could catch? Any other idea?
Thanks,
Tackel.
