Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / June 2008Menubar space
Hello, my question is strange, but not banal: the large side of the screen-size of my iBook G4 measures less than 29 cm. So, today a large number of applications puts her symbols in the menulet-bar (right upper side of menubar), just that this place its very small for me, and i must decide to keep the most important items of all. To return to my question, i ask if exists a way to disable the Spotlight symbol, where takes the place of two icons, or to reduce the space between Spotlight and the other menulet -items ?? Thanks, its a crazy idea, i know, but,...

I found a MacOSXHints article that says how to get rid of it in Tiger, but it doesn't work in Leopard. If you're willing to do without Spotlight completely, this works: sudo mv /System/Library/CoreServices/Spotlight.app /Applications killall Spotlight killall SystemUIServer You can run Spotlight from the Applications folder manually, which will put back the menu icon during that login session. To undo it, do: sudo mv /Applications/Spotlight.app /System/Library/CoreServices killall SystemUIServer  SignatureBarry Margolin, barmar@alum.mit.edu Arlington, MA *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** > In article > <e0fa59fb-1529-4fcc-82ed-1fa046295...@f63g2000hsf.googlegroups.com>, [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > *** PLEASE post questions in newsgroups, not directly to me *** > *** PLEASE don't copy me on replies, I'll read them in the group *** It doesn't work for me anyway (Tiger 10.4.4), and i don't know how to handle this: mdutil -i off /Volume/<disk name> (My terminal window is open...)

As I said, I found web sites that explain how to do it in Tiger, so you should follow those instructions if that's what you're running.. My instructions are only for Leopard, since those instructions no longer work.

Maybe this is not what you're looking for, but it will give access to all your items. Works with Panther and Tiger (don't know about Leopard). http://softbend.free.fr/himmelbar/ SignatureROT-13 to send an e-mail: 1abercyl@urgarg.ay > its a crazy idea, i know, but,... And also one that is easily addressed by a Google search for, say, "remove spotlight from menu bar". > > its a crazy idea, i know, but,... > > And also one that is easily addressed by a Google search for, say, > "remove spotlight from menu bar". Except that the answers on all those sites doesn't work any more (if you're running Leopard).

(for lightweight, continual use, design and features) Ciao! |
