OS X : Different icon for Status Item

OS X : Different icon for Status Item

How can I make my app’s Status Item (“menulet", right side of menu bar) have a different icon than its icon shown in the Dock and Finder?

I cannot find any mention of this in “Status Item Programming Topics”, and tests indicate that it simply uses the same .icns resource indicated by CFBundleIconFile in Info.plist.  But I’ve seen other non-Apple apps do it, so apparently it can be done.

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
