MacOS Menu bar app component

[Brandon Staggs 277]

I am looking for a component to put an FMX application on the MacOS menu bar. I have not located anything like that, so I will probably have to write my own, but before I do, I just want to make sure I am not missing something that already exists. Embarcadero can't even be bothered to write such a component for FMX Windows applications, so I am sure there is nothing out of the box, but perhaps there is a third party component I couldn't find?

 

Just for clarity, this is what I am referring to:

I need to provide some documentation, but I have this:

Also be aware that I personally use another variation of this because I had trouble with "dynamic" items when associating them with FMX menu items - it became easier to just forget FMX menu items entirely, though there's a bit more code involved. I can share that code later.

I've now added the code and demo (with documentation!) for what I have been using as a replacement, here.
