NSMenuItem身高？

Question

How can I change the height of an NSMenuItem? When I change the font of a menu, an NSMenuItem automatically resizes to just fit the title, leaving no space above or below the title. It looks very cramped.

Looks like this:

Want it to look like this:

I've tried a million tweaks related to the attributed title of the menu items, but to no avail. I also don't want to use the view property of the menu items because I want to keep the highlight. Any other ideas?

Edit: This is what I'd like (more or less), but based on NSMenu, not redoing it from the ground up.

Answer 1

You can set an empty 1-pixel wide image with the desired height:

NSImage *image=[[NSImage alloc]initWithSize:NSMakeSize(1,30)];

[menuItem setImage:image];

Obviously you end up with titles that are offset 1 pixel to the right, though that may be acceptable if uniformly applied.

Answer 2

// you want height 100    
[menuItem setView:[[NSView alloc] initWithFrame:NSMakeRect(0, 0, 0, 100)]];

Answer 3

If you are looking for a re-implementation of NSMenu based upon NSWindow rather than the Carbon side of things check out JGMenuWindow :
