Hello everyone,

Does anyone know how I can change menu properties of my Mac OSX application? This probably involves some Cocoa or at least some NIB files. For example, how can I customize the Template->About Template so that instead it is MyAppName->About MyAppName?

Also, how do I get rid of the Window->Zoom feature?

If anyone is confused as to what I'm talking about I attached an image of the default menu:



I'm sure I can't be the only one with this problem because it is a critical thing to be able to change before you are able to release a finished product.

Thank you very much!

Did you change the name of the project from template to your App in the Xcode setup?

Hi thanks for the reply!

It didn't occur to me that the menu was linked to the project name. I assumed I had to change it using Interface Builder or cocoa.

I poked around and found that although changing the name of the project doesn't change the menus to what you want, here's how to do it:

- (Rename the build target to the new name by right clicking->rename)
- Project->Edit Active Target
- Go to the "Build" tab
- Scroll down to the "Packaging" section
- Change the attribute called "Product Name" to the new name

This might sound a little obvious but it's actually quite hard to find.

Yes and be sure all the names are the same or the app will be rejected. Already happened to me.
Now i do my menus with obj c, so i'm sure all is ok.
Customized menus on Mac App are good cause you avoid to do VirtualButtons or Buttons.


Long life to Steve!
