Or possibly clicking on the bars would show the strength in the drop down menu?

Update: I removed a lot of unneeded stuff from up there:

How do you like smart reporter? would you recommend it?

A while ago, my friends called me about this 'dumb smart error' that kept appearing on his computer's BIOS screen. The computer still 'worked' then. A few days later when I went to fix it, he turned it on but it wouldn't boot up. The drive was dead.

Ever since then, I use SMART Reporter. I find it to be pretty useful. It hasn't ever reported to me about anything (which is a good thing). I use it on all my Macs.

i cant upload mine because it gets saved as jp2 which is seen as invalid on these forums, but the only addition i made were:
Classic Status
the lock from keychain access
ichat status
eject button

That's what GraphicConverter is for.

You forgot to describe what is the icon between Airport and MenuMeters CPU Usage. I'm curious: what is it?

Whoops, yeah its MenuMeter Disk Activity.

What iTunes controller is that? I'm looking for a good one to add into the menu, would you recommend it?

What is main menu?

Main Menu is a menulet that lets you do a bunch of tasks, such as repairing disks, showing hidden items, clearing caches, disable dashboard, and whatnot.

That is gimme some more tunes (search version tracker it's a freewre)

Is there an Apple Mail notifier for the menu bar?

Try this out.

"gimme some more tunes" is not the right name.
Neither is "gimme more tunes" or "gimme some tunes", or "some more tunes".

And I wish the Mail notifier weren't so old.

Here is a neat site for menulets in one spot. Some are free and other or fee.
