Mac Tip: The Menu Bar Shuffle

Jake Bechtold | May 23, 2008

Everyone loves the Mac OS X top menubar, right. Okay, maybe sometimes it’s annoying. You add stuff to it and it doesn’t go in the right order. Or sometimes you add something that you didn’t want to and you can’t get rid of it.

Have no fear- easy fix. In fact, you can make the menubar work like the dock- okay kinda. Hold down the Command Key (the Apple key). While the key is depressed you can rearrange icons, just like on the dock. Or, you can drag an icon off of the menu bar and it’ll disappear.

To put your icons back in, you’ll have to go to that corresponding System Preference and add it in. There is another way, but I’ll cover that on Tuesday.
