I noticed something tonight while playing around with Meteo. Has anyone here ever noticed that while the main pull down menus fade away when unclicked, the pull down menus for the menu extras (clock, volume, etc.) abrubtly disappear a la OS 9. Is this just a detail in the fit and finish that Apple hasn't attended to or is this intentional?

Aren't third-party menu extras disabled and therefore they have to have a hack in order to work in the menubar.

It's a problem with the API's.
After 10.1 Apple kept the MenuBar API for themselves, therefor their menu extras are all saavy (you can drag them, etc).
Other apps. that wished to used the menubar had to rip the API, so they are how they are.

I just tried it and the same thing happens here. And I get it with both Apple and 3rd Party extras.

Both, the menus of menu extras and those of status items fade away.

Not quite. The API was never public (not even in 10.1), it has alwasy been a private framework. Aple just blocked 3rd party menuextras with 10.2 (and unsanity put out a hack to reenable them).
You can't rely on private APIs. They are private for a reason, and can change at any time without warning.

Both Apple and 3rd party Menu Extras fade out smoothly for me (using Unsanity Menu Extra Enabler).

Well, I don't know why for some the menu extras do fade out, and for me and others, they don't. I've got two macs here, and on neither mac the menu extras fade. Not a big deal by any stretch of the imagination, I was just curious if anyone knew the reason for this.

I just tried it again, and now both sets of menus fade away.
Weird.
