Hi All,

I've become increasingly a fan of using the menu bar, but as a consequence it's also become increasingly jammed (when using my 13" MBP)

So, I've stripped mine back to my essentials, (see screenshot [from external 20" display at wk]); what are your must haves?

I am super OCD about everything on my computer and hate clutter, so I have as little as possible.

I keep my desktop completely devoid of icons as well. My folders, organized.

Sheesh my menu bar is getting longer than the dock. I can disable some of them from showing, but I'd really like a utility that made a second tier or had customizable menu bar items depending on a set of criteria (like you'd have certain sets for certain applications). This exist?
 
Mine is still rather small because I had to erase my internal HD...

I'm the same, mine is as empty as yours!
Desktop is also completely clear ;)
