My recollection, admittedly vague, is that a long time ago Apple decreed that third-party developers must not develop menu extras. That end of the menu bar was reserved exclusively for Apple. Of course, as we know, third-party developers kept developing menu extras anyway. But Apple apparently still does not accept them as legitimate. Personally, I am of two minds about menu extras. They clutter the right end of the menu bar with often meaningless little icons; but darn, they're so useful! -- which is why so many of them clutter my menu bar. -- Bill Cheeseman - b...@cheeseman.name _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
