I don't know if the framework is still in the same place in the filesystem in 10.2, but (with the M.E.E. from Unsanity) the API and classes should still function as expected.

dsandler: is that still valid in 10.2?

The Menu Extra API is private. Apple doesn't want developers to use it. That said, it's EXTREMELY useful -- the suggested alternative, NSStatusItem, requires that your app be running at all times and isn't nearly as flexible.

The quickest way to get started is to use class-dump to extract a header file for the framework that contains the API, which is found at /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/SystemUIPlugin.framework/Versions/Current/SystemUIPlugin.

The class you'll want to extend is NSMenuExtra (and NSMenuExtraView, if you want a fancier menu header than the standard text string).

Yeah, I saw Menu Extra Enabler, which looks like a pretty sweet piece of work. I may just have to upgrade to 10.2 and grab their SDK.

According to the Weather Pop developers, non-Apple menu extras no longer work in Jaguar. Looks like Mr Jobs owns that bit of screen turf now.

Massinova has a menu extra available, says the developer is Timothy Hatcher (xenon@massinova.com). Maybe you can ask him?
