Five New AppleKory Menu Bar Tweaks

As I become increasingly more comfortable with Leopard I am exploring more and different ways to leverage its many features and access points.  For instance, last Friday I tripped over a great site for tips and tricks (www.coolosxapps.net), and the next thing I knew I had spent 2+ hours adjusting and enhancing AppleKory's Menu Bar for maximum effectiveness.  Five new favorites from among the new adornments include:

• MainMenu:  Allows you access to powerful system maintenance tools (www.santasw.com/)
• MagiCal: Menu-based clock and calendar, Features a huge range of configuation options (www.charcoaldesign.co.uk/magical)
  
• Caffeine: Places a small icon in your menu bar that can be clicked to prevent your Mac from automatically going to sleep, dimming the screen or starting your screen saver (lightheadsw.com/caffeine/)
• SMARTReporter: Designed to warn of hard drive failures before they happen (via warning dialog, email alert, or by executing an application), and which always indicates HD status in the Menu Bar (www.corecode.at/smartreporter/)
• aLunch: Customizable application launcher for OS X, that can be accessed from your menu bar (mactips-lib.net/m/software/alunch/en/main.html)
