I am looking to develop a Cocoa application that will only have a icon at top menu. Not sure what this is officially called. This is very similar to the DropBox application. Any direction is helpful. Thanks

That icon is called a ‘status item’, and you can learn more about creating an application like this by reading up on the
NSStatusItemClass Reference and the Status Bar Programming document.
