Is it possible to create an AppBar in OS X like you can in Windows? As another possibility can you reserve desktop/screen space like the dock bar does? Eg. When you maximize a window it will not cover the dock bar.

You can create an “always-on-top” window by setting the window’s level to something high via
[NSWindow setLevel:]. (I think thatNSScreenSaverWindowLevelis currently the highest level.) This will keep it above other applications, if I recall correctly. However, I don’t know of a way to carve out a section of the screen that other apps will obey.
