»On a 16:9 display, giving up 10% of your vertical real estate is really stupid. On any operating system, have a toolbar at the top of the screen and another one at the bottom of the screen is awful. It's bad when Mac does it too. The menu bar is a holdover from a time when you could only run one app at a time, and has no place in a proper multitasking OS.«
What if your menu bar was a keyboard-controlled command center?

I absolutely loathe the #Mac's #menubar icons. Having them all black and white makes it nearly impossible to instantly find the icon that you want when you glance in what Windows users would call the "tray" area. But I can find JDownloader, AltTab (soon to be permanently replaced with 1Piece) and Folder Peek in there easily.
It's just the absolute worst design decision by #Apple. Helps absolutely nothing.
