Cocoa - Custom appearance of NSStatusItem in menu bar

2.8k views Asked by At

It is easy to set the title and length of an NSStatusItem. Is is possible to change the appearance of the NSStatusItem entirely, and replace it with a custom view?

For example, if I want my NSStatusItem to be a whole row of icons surrounded by a border, rather than just a single icon, and each icon can be separately clicked. Is this possible?

Got it. I can use NSStatusItem's setView: method to completely customize the appearance of the NSStatusItem.

An example of this is here.
