Then all I had to do was to, basically speaking, replace the occurrences of " NSMenuExtra" by " NSStatusItem", since the two APIs are almost the same. So, how did I port MenuMeters to El Capitan, then? Well, I just gave up having ⌘-dragging. In El Capitan, Apple added a more stringent check of the allowed NSMenuExtra's, and MenuCracker no longer works. MenuCracker was an NSMenuExtra that pretended to be one of those allowed ones, which, once loaded inside SystemUIServer, removed these checks, so that more NSMenuExtras can be loaded without any problem. MenuMeters used this to inject their own NSMenuExtra's to SystemUIServer in fact MenuMeters' author is one of the main authors of MenuCracker.Įssentially, until Yosemite, SystemUIServer had a fixed list of allowed NSMenuExtras.

But this happened later than the need to port MenuMeters to El Capitan 10.11.)Īnyway, due to this better behavior of NSMenuExtra's, people often wanted to write their own. The official word according to Alex Harper the creator of MenuMeters, is that owing to certain architecture changes in El Capitan, the latest version of MenuMeters has ceased to work. (On macOS Sierra 10.12, Apple finally implemented and enabled ⌘-dragging for all NSStatusItem's, including this port of MenuMeters. I have no idea why ⌘-dragging was not provided for the latter by the system. One good thing about the former is that you can rearrange them by ⌘-dragging the menu items. The latter can be displayed by any app written by any developer. The former are loaded and displayed by SystemUIServer, a process provided by the system.
