Then, from left to right: CalendarBar (shows iCal and Facebook events as well as birthdays), Dropbox (icon seems not to be disableable), Espionage (password encryption for single folders), Jumpcut (Clipboard history with perfect system integration), Little Snitch Monitor (firewall), LittleSnapper (screenshots), WiFi, Time Machine (currently running…), Battery, Keyboard (ugliest icon ever produced by Apple), Clock, Hotspot Shield (Germans also want to use Hulu…), and Spotlight.(From Nathanael)

Here’s my appropriately minimal menu bar. I use Alfred (launched with the caps lock key) for pretty much everything, so having menu bar icons doesn’t get me much.DropboxCalendarBar - Syncs up with Google Calendar, iCal, and Facebook events, has an attractive menu bar dropdown, and pops Growl notifications of reminders. Super handy for making sure I don’t miss meetings.Clock - I set this to analog since it’s rare that I need to know precisely what time it is.
