Bartender: Cleanliness and order in the menu bar

The more programs settled the right of the system clock, the greater the problem becomes the menu bar in the first place, for makbukov users. That is because the irony: in Windows it is decided more than 10 years ago, and Apple... Unfortunately, to hide rarely used icons makovodov and now have to resort to third-party tools - a utility Bartender, eg.

How the program works is very simple. After starting the "Bartender" in the menu bar, its icon appears, by clicking on which the pop-up panel, which originally hidden only one button - to display the configuration utility window. However, a little dig deeper in this window, or rather in its section Menu ItemsOn Bartender panel can be moved not only all of the icons of running applications, but even all the elements of the system services until the Spotlight and Notification Center. As a result, the right side of the menu bar OS X may look pristine:

The functionality of all the hidden icons while fully preserved. If any icon changes state (for example, came a new mail or "tuna" was replaced by song), Bartender can show it for the nth number of seconds. Pop-ups also appear at the right time (by the way, there are options Bartender "daw", which It allows the utility to adjust the position of the pop-ups for hidden icons - Contingency glitches).

Incidentally, the order of arrangement of icons - as Bartender panel, and on the menu bar itself - is very simple: by dragging while holding keys command (Remember that usually icons of programs, as well as Spotlight and Notification Center with places not budge).

Of the additional functions can be called binding global keys for call panel Bartender and perform basic functions program, and the ability to move the panel with hidden icons in a more convenient location below the menu bar (?) - at least in the left corner screen.

Utility works perfectly, but unfortunately, not free - the developer asks for her $ 15. However, time is to determine the need to purchase, you will have plenty of: testing a demo version of Bartender is given a full four weeks.
