hi Stefan,

have you considered using standard (in terms of Apple HIG) Dock item and/or Apple's menu bar item?
To get insight on menu bar items see that 3rd party compilation list:
http://menu.jeweledplatypus.org/#/
http://menu.jeweledplatypus.org/meta/
If anything vast majority of developers use custom menu bar items I think (as OS X user I had never use that kind of UI feature you've asked about),
regards,
Peter

Hi All,

sorry I'm a newbie to cocoa.
I'm looking for a hint, maybe just the right term for a search to find more information. I would love to implement a tab that sits on the screen boarder and if I press it it scrolls out my window. Very much as in OS 9 where you could drag a finder window down to the screen boarder and than this became a tab. En example would be in this screen shot of together http://www.reinventedsoftware.com/together/images/gallery-media/librarywindow.png - the tab on the right side.
What would be the right name for such a "tab"/
Is there any kind of widget that does this already in one of the frameworks? Or do I have to build this from scratch? What would I use to build it from scratch?
Thanks for any hints.
Stefan
