Contextual Menus
A contextual menu, or shortcut menu, gives people access to frequently used commands related to the current context. A contextual menu is revealed by Control-clicking a view or selected element in an app. For example, Control-clicking selected text in TextEdit displays a contextual menu containing text-specific menu items for initiating actions like changing the font and checking spelling.
Click on the checkbox next to 'Show volume in menu bar.' It's at the bottom of the dialog box. The volume is now displayed in your menu bar. The volume is displayed as a black speaker icon. Click on it to change the volume settings on your Mac. Now, select to the “Dock & Menu Bar” option. Here you will see all controls listed in the sidebar. Choose a control (like “Wi-Fi”) and check the “Show in Menu Bar” option to add the control to the menu bar. Uncheck the option to remove the control from the menu bar. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use Skip Tunes to add playback controls to your OS X menu bar. These controls work with the Rdio, Spotify, or iTunes apps, and will work immediately after.
- A great feature we don't have in the current Spotify OS X app is a Menu Bar icon/widget, next to the other icons, like Wifi, Battery, Volume, etc. It would be really handy if we could control our music directly from the Menu Bar, without leaving the app we're using. There are third party apps that a.

- BarRemote is a mini player for Spotify that sits in your menu bar. It allows you to quickly see what's currently playing and control playback. You can search the Spotify library directly in the app to select something to play. You can browse an artist's albums and play and see album details.
Always follow menu design best practices. In general, all menus and menu items should be consistently arranged and titled. See Menu Anatomy.
Include only the most commonly used commands that are appropriate in the current context. For example, in the contextual menu for selected text, it makes sense to include editing commands but it doesn’t make sense to include a Save or Print command.
Limit the hierarchical depth of contextual menus to one or two levels. Submenus in contextual menus can be difficult to navigate without accidentally dismissing the contextual menu. If you must include submenus, restrict them to a single level.
Don’t set a default item in a contextual menu. If the user opens the menu and closes it without selecting anything, no action should occur.
Always make contextual menu items available in the menu bar too. A contextual menu is hidden by default and a user might not know it exists, so it should never be the only way to access a command. In particular, avoid using a contextual menu as the only way to access an advanced feature. See Menu Bar Menus.
Show keyboard shortcuts in menu bar menus, not contextual menus. Contextual menus are already shortcuts to task-specific commands; it's redundant to display keyboard shortcuts too.
Use an Action pop-up button to elevate contextual menu functionality. You can use an Action pop-up button to provide app-wide contextual menu functionality in a toolbar. For example, people can use the Action pop-up menu in the Finder toolbar to access the same commands found in a selected item’s contextual menu. See Action Pop-Up Buttons.
