Tiger Menu Bar Problem

[leeling]

I have quite a few icons in the top right Menu Bar. When I use an application with lots of menu drop down items, some of my icons just disappear! They reappear again with a smaller number of menu drop downs.

Now, I don't like windows, but the notification area has the ability to collapse a little, but with a button to show items.

Is there any way to get OS X to have a similar behavior? There is no way to see the icons without changing to a simpler active application!

Help!

Seems like just a little pet peeve. From what I understand of your post all you gotta do is just click the desktop, see what you wana see then click your other window/app again.

Apple should fix this though, the current behaviour is bad.
