Is it possible to create an icon in OSX's status bar with CAPI?

Hi!

I didn't find in CAPI documentation, how to create an icon in the status bar.

Here is a tutorial how to do this with XCode and Swift:

Is it possible to reproduce this with LispWorks?

P.S. – I have an idea to create a BitBar's[1] clone with plugins written in Lisp.

Hi,

I think you better to find out how to do it in Objective C and use LW's Objective C interface:
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw71/OBJC/html/objc.htm
The advantage of LW on OSX is that Cocoa and ObjC are available from Lisp.
