Don’t think you can work that into a nib file.

I suspected that.

Too heavy I assume is the status bar?

No, it’s more that it opens a completely new window (or view) and is, in general, much bigger (taking up more space on the screen). If it’s configured as opening a window, which is the default, it includes the title bar and related controls. In my opinion would an NSPopover be perfect for this, perhaps I’ll create a plugin for this.
