Menu Eclipse2.4.3

Just putting it out there to the developer - if you make the licence reminder only come up on the screen periodically people like myself would be more likely to actually try it out. As for me, I got so over the big red reminder in the menubar I quit the app in under 2 minutes and doubt I'll ever give it a decent trial because of this.

A must-have for OS X, together with HazeOver, f.lux and cDock2. Sure, you can always go for the default dark mode, but this is different… way better. Don't want my system without it. Working great on El Capitan (10.11.3). However, in addition to the delay function, I'd love to have a keep-bright function, as long as the user navigates through menus. But that's not enough to reduce the rating, so yeah, 5 stars. Well-deserved. PS: Timer should have the option to set the value in seconds, too. (Just sayin'.) Would love to sync it with my HazeOver settings. :)

On OSX.8.2 it darkens the menubar for some minutes or an hour, but then suddenly the menubar is lightgrey as normal so that you have to open MenuEclipse again, make your setting again, close it again ...

Bought this on the App Store out of curiosity, and wow! Just love it! Menu Eclipse does what is says and there seems to be nothing else like this for the Mac...

Thanks for the update!

Soon available in the Mac App Store.

Enjoy this new release + demo!

Thanks, great update!

download now. or buy. or try your paid copy. or infinite number of links to mac app store. a demo is more than welcome

I've tried this in the past, but I had some issues with how my menubar appeared. I'm not saying it's bad; it just didn't meet personal standards. I went with a combo of Leo ColorBar and Nocturne, both of which are free. So, now they have a new version of this, and I'm open to trying it, but for some apocalyptic reason, it seems that developers who used to offer demo versions are now no longer able to do so. There's no way I'm spending $3 just to see if this new improved version does what I need.

And the reason I will give you $2 without being able to first test this out with a demo is . . . ?

Works great. Its amazing how much the menubar can be a distraction when your program window is maximised to take up the full screen. menueclipse fixes that quite well. Would be good if the old icon menu from 2.0 was back. I remember trying this app years ago when it was free :)) I just paid $2 for it though, so for that, i reckon a feature that actually hides the menubar for all applications would be a good thankyou from the developer, lol.

Haters, haters, haters be gone! Why is this user below called "@timi" giving this app a 0.5 rating because there is no Demo version or how the developer handels comments... huh? That makes no sence, this simple little utility does what is advertises for only 1.99, thats good enough for me. I wouldn't wan't this app to stop existing just because of these damn haters!! And then the user below called "Virgeist" also gives 0.5 rating becasue he finds Nocturne to be better and free, but they don't do the same thing even!? Anyway that is just wrong. I support this app 100% - keep it up!

Just saw it in the App Store, I find it useful. Its nice and does exactly what it says. Thanks! Would be great if the color could blend instead of cover the menu bar...

No demo, and have you seen how the developer handles comments on MacUpdate?

This is an almost perfect replacement for MenuShade, the main thing missing is an application exclusion list, so that you can disable menu dimming in certain programs, especially ones where you use the menu bar a lot, i.e. Photoshop.

One thing... I wish there was a keyboard shortcut

yes! 1.3 is a slight upgrade from 1.2. keep up the good work. right now im still a student, but this will help me not be distracted. i will donate once i land an awesome job, thanks indirectly to this app.

It works great, its a nice addition to Think.

This is a good application, but I want it to do better. I feel like if enough people use this, the developer will have to add new features users want. First, I'll give it 5 stars because it's the best thing out there that works with Leopard. Menufela & Menushade I hear good things about for people who don't have Leopard. BUt apparently these apps will cause the blue screen of death and the developers haven't done anything to update it yet. I can hope hope the developers are reading this right now. One thing I like is the ability to customize the level of "blackness". This is pretty much the only thing it does and sort of the only thing I was looking for. But now that I've used it, a few ideas came to mind. I would like more options, like the ability to hide it (just like hiding the Dock). I know this is vastly different and requires different code from just covering it up. So a huge thanks to the developer if he can update this with that function. Also, I currently have the app in my Dock for easy access. However, I would like to have it in my menu bar (ironic isn't it) to avoid taking up more space in my Dock. In essence, I would like it to be in the background. I don't wanna know it's there. I'm going to keep this app until I find something better, but hopefully the developers will update this with more features before Menufela or MenuShade update their apps for Leopard.

Does as it says and works great.

Seems to work fine, with pretty much the features you'd need. Thanks for this.
