Check the "Status icon support (4.5 – experimental)" section of the 
Release Notes. You can open the Release Notes from the Help menu in the 
IDE. This is a relatively new feature that allows you to put a status 
icon in the Mac menu bar (or system tray on Windows.) It is experimental 
for now, which means it may have bugs or irregularities.

I don't think the icon will remain if you quit your app. You'll need to 
just hide your stack instead of quitting.
