How would you do this? I want to add another feature to iChat but I have no idea to start, this is not including that there is no documentation for input managers. How would I do this (this includes adding a new menu item to the status menu)?

Any help would be awesome.

It looks to me like Apple does have documentation. (That should be found on your hard disk at file:///Developer/Documentation/Coco...l/InputManager, too.)

Couldn't tell you the specifics of patching iChat, though.

have a copy of class-dump to get the symbols/methods/vars ichat's classes use..

then you're good to go.

InputManagers are so useful, without them my next app would not exist!

BUT keep in mind that you're patching something that could change anytime... it's still an ugly hack.. always remember that!

for instance, in my hack, I have 3 lines of code, so it cannot reall cause any troubles. but if you're going to redraw stuff, you better be careful!

Actually, I wrote that hack. And it's ugly and evil and I didn't like it one bit, so you really need to look into those other approaches I outlined before I quit.
