What's On Your Menubar!!

As I'm not at my Mac at the moment, here goes, Spotlight, Time and Date, Bluetooth, Airport.
I use to have PSPware, .Mac, Audio, Display, Stuffit, but on my 12" Powerbook it took up to much of the menubar and login was significantly slower, so I figured removing them was best.
 
Left to right: Quicksilver, Synergy Advance, Dragthing, Konfabulator, Airport, Sound Source, Keyboards, CeePeeYou

Weel on my iBook is Ejector, HimmelBar, iSnip, MainMenu, Displays, Classic, Bluetooth, Time and Battery. I also have a couple more when using my external monitor :D

Nothing wildly different here.

The Shuffle logo is my Synergy iTunes controls (the volume doesn't work though)

The Pacman ghost is called 'Spirited Away' which is a clever little app that makes background apps automatically hide after a set amount of time (you can choose to have selected apps not disappear)

And the pink twirl is Pinki which is useful if you want to add thumbnails to your image files without opening them up and saving them.

Ooh, how did you manage the flag without the CSA? :)

Actually just a little hack I threw together. PM me/e-mail me if you like and we can arrange me sending you the files and the instructions - it's pretty simple actually. :cool:
 
Thanks for all the people that recommended http://menu.jeweledplatypus.org/. I'm pretty sure I saw it recommended in another post on the forums. I just downloaded Himmel Bar from the site and am very impressed. After configuring it to show only my favorite utilities (I use the dock for my apps and have my finder well configured but still, a dropdown for very frequent utilites is great). The interface is nice once you customize it and it's nice to get free apps. My only concern is that it seems to be taking up a fair bit of RAM.
 
Here's mine:

Nope, that's the beautiful thing, it's not! I'll be e-mailing another member who also inquired about this with details and files tonight when I get home, so PM me if you want me to contact you as well.

Oh, but I think this might only work on Panther, since that's where it was done. I don't know if it will work on Tiger...

Let me know!

Is there anyone else who uses MenuMeters that has difficulty getting it to display temperatures? :confused:

It will only show me the CPU activity when I select temperature. I've passively struggled with it for quite a while now.

You're probably selecting "Thermometer", which is just the display style. There's no CPU temp thing in MenuMeters.

Here's me:
Quicksilver, Konfabulator, Hardware Monitor, PC Card thingy, MenuMeters, Airport, Bat, Clock, Modem, Spotlight

I can't post a screen because I'm on my PC desktop right now but I'll just list them off from memory:

Desktop Manager
Meteorologist
Airport
Keychain
Battery
Clock
Spotlight

Also.. I've noticed that there quite a few of laptop users in this thread yet none of them use Desktop Manager.. for shame!

I urge all of you pbook and ibook users to give it a shot (especially the 12"ers).

airport, scripts, battery, keyboard, date&time, spotlight
