Unless you are willing to buy me a new Powerbook my screen is only 1284 by 854, hhehehe, so not really that large, the menu bar takes about half that space.

Yeah it does.

That sucks. I cut my menubar down on my 12" because it was approaching halfway, and I still think it borders on to much crap. I guess to each his own, but I couldn't imagine taking half considering there are a good quantity of apps that take the other half with the pulldowns.
 
Why not.

Apps from left to right, ByteController, MenuMeter

OMG, i was looking for this thread! I couldnt find it for the life of me!

Now to go through it again.
 
what happens if your menu bar icons get to be so much that they go farther than an applications' commands go?

the commands take precedence over the menu bar items so whatever your closes menu bar item is to the commands will probably disappear.
 
Mine is sooo simple. This is for my Mac mini. It's right by the modem but I chose to go wireless cuz its easier to have all the computers wireless. I don't notice and speed difference. The one on my iBook is the same but with a battery icon too.

Wow - some serious menu bars here!

Apart from the standard (AirPort, BT etc) I have Adium and MainMenu
 
Top menu bar widegts

What menu bar widgets/apps do you have on your set up?
I've just discovered ByteController, and god its such a great app.
Are there anymore out there? What do they do? What do you guys have?
Should be interesting to find out what gems are out there.
