This app no longer works under Leopard. If you are looking for better app for the job try Menu Eclipse. Its new and and work fine on leopard. http://www.xybernic.com/

This app worked great for me in Tiger, but crashes ever since Leopard update, both on G5 and Intel. It launches, dims the menu bar for a second or two, then crashes.

Note: to access the application's preferences, launch it again while it's already running.

I just discovered this app, and find it quite handy. You can manually add it to startup items via sys prefs.

Doesn't play nice with Desktop Manager on the MacBook but works perfectly on the PPC side.

some gripes:

1. option to remove dock icon
2. start at login option
3. should really be a preference pane instead
