Menubar-only option.

Like many others, I'm sure, I have iterm2 start when my machine boots and I never ever turn it off. It is the main thing I use on my mac.
I have always somewhat disliked that it has to stay in my dock while running when so many other apps are able to exist solely in the menubar.
I have tried a few different approaches like manually changing the plist file so that the icon does not show up in the dock but that makes its use somewhat less than optimal because you still want to be able to access the options you would get by clicking on the dock icon.
It would be great if there were an option that let us have a menubar icon instead of dock icon. I would also suggest that, if you were to do this, make a black and a white version so that you can support both normal and the new 'dark' mode in yosemite.
I got the idea when i stumbled across this link (not sure if it will be useful or not): http://nsrover.wordpress.com/2014/10/10/creating-a-os-x-menubar-only-app/
Thanks!
