The first thing to figure out is that Apple calls an app that can live in the menu bar "NSStatusItem". Knowing that makes it a LOT easier to find documentation for writing them. I highly recommend getting a copy of AppKiDo to browse the Cocoa docs, if you don't already have it. I posted a very simple example of getting an NSStatusItem using PyObjC on this list awhile back: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/pythonmac-sig/2005-April/013731.html Let me know if it helps, or if you need more help getting going. --Dethe _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
