Has anyone used or tried this little application?
It looks pretty cool.
http://www.macpoweruser.com/menustrip/index.html
I'd be interested to hear some feedback from anyone familiar with it.

Now, before the peanut gallery starts yappin', lemme say this, I know this isn’t necessarily a GUI application, but we all know how many time we see a cool utility in another member’s screen shot and want to know what it is, so i think this topic fits into the GUI Forum guidelines.

Believe me - I post in peace.

Stop poking me!

To dislike Sinatra is a sign of highly questionable taste. To dislike the Beatles is a serious character flaw.

It looks a lot like Butler, but not free. Although it does have alarms and such, everything else I think the old Butler can handle nicely.

Is it cocoa or carbon? If cocoa, can you remove the aqua stripes and theme it ?

$19 for the month of jan, then $25 seems a little steep for what it does
If it were $5 or $10 it might seem more appealing.

Butler and quicksilver overall seem a lot better value ;)

Don't know where you've been, but Menustrip is one of the original system/control/gui enhancements for OSX. It came out with the OSX Public Beta, fer gossake.

It is not a lot like Butler, Butler is a lot like it.

That being said, I have tried both and use neither any longer.
Reality has a liberal bias
