Mac Menu Bar Apps

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks Matthias.  Once again, no mention in the dictionary of statusicon,
statusiconmenu, or statusiconmenupick, although I think there's enough in
your reply to give it a try.

Maybe I'm not using the right terminology.  When I say the Mac menu bar, I
mean the strip at the top of the screen with the File, Edit, etc menus at
the left, username, search icon and various other app icons on the right
