    MUSUBANA  Sometimes the simplest things are the most ingenious ones. People may laugh and say ”So what? It’s just a menu!” – but someone had to breathe life into this idea.

    Works like a charm. When I combine it with CornerClick ( http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12413/cornerclick ), all I have to do is to click the menu’s corner to get uncluttered access to all those small icons…

    The only thing lacking is a way to hide the Menuola icon from the doc…

    Menuola is worth 5 stars, but I give it only 4 for now, to encourage the developer to think about what I just wrote… ;-)

    GEO COM LTD  I would love to do this but given the current state of Mac OS X you can hide any apps icon from the dock but it will also remove the Menu for the app which Menuola relies on

    If any one does know how to do this without removing the Menu i would like to know how

    SIXER   The description is a little vague. The developers means Menu Extras. The little icons that you have to the right of your menubar.

    SJK  Re: Really Menuola is just an application with a single letter for the app name, and no menus – correct?

    And surely it can be done with something smaller than a 5.9MB(!) download.

    GCOGHILL  This is kind of cool, I am a menubar junkie as well. I always wished a developer would make some sort of menubar overflow utility, and this is pretty close. I would like to see something where you can choose which items appear on the "main" menubar, and which appear on the "overflow" menubar. Anyways…

    Really Menuola is just an application with a single letter for the app name, and no menus – correct?

    Dev should consider making the hotkey customizable, as I already use f7 for other applications.

    Otherwise kinda handy.

    ELEGRAPHY  I like the idea of this app, because I am totally a menu item junkie. Unfortunately, I don't see anything happen when I restart my powerbook when this is set as a login item, only the splash window act up. There's no document comes with the app that explains what it does with my menu items, or how it'll work inside my computer. For now, I have to trash it until the devoloper can come out the working version.

    SCHMYE BUBBULA  What exactly does this app do?

    Am I to understand that all it does is be an app that has a short menu bar, so that if one has a lot of menu extras, they otherwise won't be covered up by apps with long menu bars?
