Hello! I have to write an application, that should run on the background. When the user needs, it should display some control panel. On Windows system i would have used System tray, and an icon there - when the user clicks on that icon, it displays some GUI. but what is the Mac's usual practice? I am thinking that the analog to that tray application is an agent, launched by launchd. On what event it is considered to be good to trigger that "control panel"? All i could think of - is installing a global event tap (but i need accessibility Enabled then all the time - it is neither a good idea) and watch some Shortcut pressed on a keyboard. Another idea was to create an item in "System preferences" (but, could it be done? And how?).
And where should I install that application? Installing in /Applications doesn't seem to be nice, because it's not really a full-gui applicatlion, It's rather some kind of background system helper.
