Hmm. Perhaps this explains why everything is in palettes and toolbars these days instead of in the menubar where they belong: the space in the Mac menubar is quickly eroding. Here’s what mine looks like today, reduced by 50% to fit on this page:
All those icons take up half of the width of my screen, leaving very little room for actual menus.
I think that those little menubar icons are getting out of hand, don’t you?
vista is the same way….i sometimes have to do the mouse-over to figure out what the hell it is!
