MenuMover

This app lets you manage your MenuExtras - those little things at the top right of the screen. MenuMover actively adds and removes the extras based on your selection.

MenuMover makes use of some seriously undocumented system calls, so I can’t guarantee its persistance in later versions of OS X. BTW, if anyone can make a better icon, please do so. The current one hurts my eyes. Moving on…
