I used to be a fan of NetworkMonitor until I saw a new software out today in VersionTracker: MenuMeters. This one easily take the crown! Very pretty and simple.

Right next to MenuMeters, I use Spy, Stuffit Deluxe, and the rest...

Post yours here. I don't care if it's boring but I'm sure people would love to see how you organize your menu bar. Clock at the beginning of left or right, Sound at middle, ... ?

holy poo dude, I keep mine very simple and uncluttered. This means airport, volume, (not even necessary anyway), battery with percent, and time.

Heh, I'm sure you know that I'm deaf but that isn't the reason it's off. My roommate have a baby daughter and she live right next to my room. When they're not here, I'd turn it to full volume (I own iSub/Soundsticks mainly for its high bass)

#10 Mon, 6 Jan 2003 - 18:33

Ahhh, that is a great app! Just replaced 3 apps I was using with it. Wow, seriously. I'm excited!

Only thing I'd like is for it to display network usage in bytes instead of bits.

Here's my menu bar.

So you better now get the Logitech Z-680... a huge 8" 180 watt sub woofer (and five 60 watt satellites), you can feel that 4 blocks away at half volume.

Man, I LIKE it! How did you get "ChangeDesktop" on the menu (I change out my wallpaper all the itme and it would be great to have quick access to it).

#20 Mon, 6 Jan 2003 - 22:41

Anybody know if there is a menu thing for displaying iTunes song info?

And I don't want one of the floating windows. Just a static display in the menu bar.

#21 Mon, 6 Jan 2003 - 23:45

Nice and simple.

It's the program called ChangeDesktop on versiontracker. It's brilliant and free! There is a checkbox in the program for 'display menu item' which lets you do various changes from the menubar.

I use a contextual menu that lets me change desktop, Only prob is that I can't control how the image is displayed (fill, stretch etc...) it only reads "Set as Desktop Picture"

You guys should offer some of your icon files for these :-)

I haven't seen MailTicker, RADbookmarks, You Got Mail, Shortcut Menu, Youpi Key.....

Anyone know if MailTicker is going to be updated anytime soon?
