NSMenu custom item

Question

How can I do NSMenu creation for a menu, for example?

Is it NSMenu or is it a borderless window, and if so, how can I do this? Thanks!

See the documentation for NSStatusItem . I believe that you can display the view instead of the standard NSMenu , which is similar to what they do in this image.
