thanks - i seem to recall i tried calling it on NSStatusitem itself but made no difference. I’ll join the Cocoa dev group as you suggest though.
Subject: Re: NSStatusItem popUpStatusItemMenu shows menu over main menubar instead of below it From: [email protected] Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2015 22:00:28 -0500 CC: [email protected] To: [email protected] This would have been a better fit for the cocoa-dev mailing list, since this has nothing to with the Xcode IDE itself. You are setting the menu on some view (whatever pimpl->getView() returns) rather than the NSStatusItem itself. Set the menu property of the NSStatusItem rather than some view. When it's on the view, it is a contextual menu for that view, which is presumably why it shows up on top of it.

Only trouble is it pops up on top of my menu-app icon, at the very top instead of right _below_ the menu bar.
