I counted 46, including scripts I had run a few days before, plus access to the printer utility at work.įollowing the date in the main menu is a quick reminder utility that sets an alarm for anything between 5 seconds and 5 hours. The last item in this sub-menu opens an alphabetical list of recent applications. As menus of some applications are wide, they conceal icons: this gives instant access to active ones. Clicking on any one opens System Preferences and displays the panel of the item selected.Ī further item in this sub-menu is "System Menu Extras" (what I call menubar icons). Below this is the entire list of installed System Preferences. A drop-down menu reveals all open applications.
This icon accesses a feature that had been in pre-OS X systems: a display of the active applications. It is clearer than Apple's own menubar clock.Īlongside the clock is an icon for the current top application in use. The clock may be changed to analogue which saves space (the date is displayed in a menu reveaed with a click). The date can also be displayed alongside and (again) different fonts are available. The menu clock can be customised both in terms of the font used and colour. It places a clock in the menubar and then discovery begins. This utility (also available for Windows) downloads in the disk image (dmg) format.

Note, I wrongly stated in the Post article that Script Software make Visage - a slip of the keyboard - Visage is available from I already use Script Software's iWatermark, as well as Visage, and I had seen this on their website but had thought, "Why do I want another clock function?" I was happy with Apple's menubar feature.
Script Software, contacted me and suggested that, if I liked Visage for hidden attributes, I should look at iClock. A few weeks ago I reviewed utilities (Calculator and Visage) which I likened to a Swiss Army Knife: in use we find more features revealed and the basic functions are surpassed.
