I have seen many apps in the Mac App Store that are simple apps that shows you the mobile version of FaceBook or Google Reader in the menu bar.
I am not sure where to start though, so I'm asking you guys.
I would like the app to display a mobile version of FaceBook in a dropdown style window (coming from the menu bar) when the toolbar icon is pressed. Any links on how to get started will be greatly appreciated.
I think NSStatusItem is what you're looking for.
Check the following tutorial:
Creating a Standalone StatusItem Menu
Another nice example project:
Using MAAttachedWindow with an NSStatusItem

What service or tool are you using to track your Windows Phone 7 apps on the marketplace (ranking over time, reviews across all markets)? This is probably not the best forum to ask this question. However since some people on must be developing apps for WP, I am sure someone knows.
From here:
http://wp7reviews.tomverhoeff.com/
http://www.wpdashboard.net/ (not working)
I think this is the new one: http://wpdwebsite.apphb.com/ - The link to "get it now" on that page doesn't work, maybe it's down right now. If it's down later, I'll update this.

I am trying to change the appearance of the group header of an IKImageBrowserView. I've seen that we can provide an custom CALayer with IKImageBrowserGroupHeaderLayer
customizing IKImageBrowserView group appearance
but every time I do I get stuck with this little triangle that gets shown and NOT animated correctly
Do you have any pointer for this? Is it a bug? Is there a workaround?
Thank you :)

I have to build a library Windows Phone 7 app to list books by author, editor, period.
I've not clear if it's better to use Panorama or Pivot control: i've seen that both would be good so i don't really understand the best component to use.
Can anyone help me?
A panorama control is great for showing a summary or a few top items you want to display in your app in a visually pleasing manner, but isn't suitable for showing large quantities of data.
A pivot is good for switching between categories such those you mention (author, editor, period). However you will have to ensure that you don't end up trying to show so much information in your pivot pages at once that your performance starts to suffer.
Another control you probably want to look at for this kind of app is the LongListSelector from the Silverlight Toolkit (link here). This control is similar to the one used on the People Hub of the phone.

I'm looking for an in browser click-n-drag type editor for editing directed labeled graphs.
All I need is a widget to support the editing and the ability to submit (AJAX, form, whatever) the resulting set of origin/label/terminus tuples. It's not what I need it for, but a GUI editor for simple GraphViz cases would be nearly ideal. This UML widget is kinds along the right track.
And I'm kind of restricted to open source, freeware and public domain.
Some other close, but not quite options:
arbor.js (view, not edit. And I don't need the auto layout.)
springy (ditto.)
You could try using Znode. A simple open source flow chart editor I created over the christmas break. It uses jQuery and Raphael. It doesn't really make use of html5 features because I wanted high browser compatability - I've tested in firefox, safari, chrome and ie6-8. It's still in development but it's stable.
Here is more info:

which library tool(round textured,textured button,etc) shall i use for
displaying boxes at right corner of uploaded image,also please give me the list of different tools shall i use for all those data(multilined text,clear logs,small images at left corner, etc) from uploaded image.
please reply
You mean the buttons? There's no exact match because Mac OS is not Windows. Use standard buttons with standard appearances.
FWIW, the list of available UI widgets is one of the easiest things to learn about Cocoa. Open Interface Builder and look through the Cocoa library palette. The Cocoa equivalent of everything in your image is there (with the exception of the hyperlinked labels - don't use these in Mac OS applications anyway as they're non-standard and quite unattractive).
Posting a complete list of all the controls and their various settings here is an unnecessary waste of effort when all it takes is for you to drag a button onto a window in Interface Builder and start playing with settings (or looking in the documentation at the various NSButton styles).
