   Wow, it’s too bad that the menu bar of my Macbook is already overcrowded (damn you iStat menus!). Great feature though, perhaps I’ll be able to make room for a few.

   That’s so nice, Todd!

   Any chance of having access to early nightlies?

   Again sorry for the double post, but I just thought that I would be really cool if you could add a black & white filter for the menu bar icons, as an option. That’s a suggestion, and I really don’t know if it’s possible. But afterall, you’re a man of many resources, so… Keep up the really good work anyway !

   @Jérôme: Since you choose the icon yourself, couldn’t you just make a greyscale one?

   I guess it’s a matter of aesthetics : maybe we want both the fluid instance to be in the menu bar and in the dock.

   But that would do the trick for just the menu bar, I admit

    New market for 24px (?) black and white menu bar icons?

    Was that Take 5 playing in the background? Nice choice!

    This will be awesome if the application hides when clicking on the icon (cmd + h).

    Pandora works great as a MenuExtra SSB. Just be sure to use its mini player: http://www.pandora.com/?cmd=mini.

    Now its perfect! I can listen to music, and have it a click away from changing the channel. Great addition!

    Unfortunately, I turned on Menu Extra SSB on my Gmail instance, and I can’t launch it anymore : it does not even bounce in the dock, nor does it have an arrow…

    (Ok, I just checked in my menu bar, and here it is. With no icon at all, though. Just a bunch of transparent pixels. I can’t change its prefrences anymore (no menu) nor can I quit it the usual way.)

    I changed back the MenuExtraSSB to ‘no’ in the preferences.plist, then force quit Gmail and all came back to default. System language is french, by the way. And the fluid instances I use were created back of the early days

    Hope that helps resolving issue.

    @Jérôme Verzieryea, i had the same problem as you, but i just clicked “command , ” and the preferences window came up and i was able to shut it off.

    Maybe this is a processor architecture bug, Im using an powerbook G4, has anyone else had this problem?

    [...] We’ve been teased for the past couple weeks about it but last night saw the anticipated release of Fluid 0.9.4 into the wild. Now I don’t know about you but I was really looking forward to this release for one single reason: menu extra hiding. [...]

    I have an Apple computer since one year and it’s really great! I love software solutions like this!
