Welcome back to our RetroPulse Mod player series! In this video, we’ll focus on creating a macOS menu extra (also known as a menu bar app) using Tauri. This type of application will display a small icon in the macOS menu bar, providing users with quick access to the app's controls and features. We’ll walk through the process of setting up the menu extra, ensuring that the icon remains in the menu bar at all times. When users click on the icon, a small control window will appear, allowing them to interact with the RetroPulse Mod player seamlessly. Throughout the video, we’ll cover essential techniques for positioning the menu extra correctly and making it visually appealing. We’ll also discuss common pitfalls to avoid when developing Tauri applications that function as menu bar apps, ensuring a smooth user experience. By the end of this video, you’ll have a fully functional macOS menu extra that enhances the RetroPulse experience, making it easy for users to control their music without needing to open the main application window. **Key Highlights** * Creating a macOS menu extra (menu bar app) with Tauri * Displaying a persistent icon in the macOS menu bar * Implementing a control window that appears on icon click * Tips and pitfalls to avoid when developing menu bar apps **Previous Video in the Series** Part 1: Part 2: Part 3: Part 4: Part 5: **Links** Source code: Don’t forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you won’t miss the next steps in our RetroPulse development journey!
