Use doorhanger (arrow) UI for native look and feel #43

Usually menu bar apps use a door hanger in OSX, which is also used at several places in the OS itself. It can be implemented as explained in https://github.com/maxogden/menubar/issues/100#issuecomment-168311340

I've tried this before, but that means sacrificing the native shadow placed on the window. Unfortunately you can't add a shadow back in using something like box-shadow, so I've decided to go without a door hanger for the initial release.

I'm closing this one as there is currently no way to have a doorhanger combined with the shadow drop using Electron.
