[Mono-osx] Menu Bar for Mac OS X?

If you want to have to write all your UIs in code, then feel free so to do. But, if you are planning on following the Apple HIG regarding layout and appearance, you are going to have to work out how to code the spacing between components and things like the springs and struts which control how components follow form resizing.

You may be able to write applications for Aqua in Java but that is a "special relationship" that Apple provides for. However, there is no such support for writing applications in C#, Delphi Prism or any other .NET language.
