Joar hello. mmm.. well.. Its a custom NSView, which is drawing all 9 images to generate the menu bounds, same as in the Dock, Im trying to recreate that menu for my application. All images are are .png with transparency value. So its not an NSMenu, because this custom menu Im displaying when clicking a special part of the window.
