I’ve been trying to keep my menubar as clean as possible, and only have in it the functions that I need on a constant basis, since it is always visible.
Obsidian MenuBar - So that the menubar blends in with the trim of my MacBook Pro, and blends into my black background.
Time Machine - For back up.
Clock - With everything unnecessary removed.
Lack of Dropbox - Because launch bar has made it easy enough to open when I need it quickly.

Meteorologist - Great, detailed weather on my menu bar.
- Great for Gmail.
Hidden are: Coversutra and
Then just some defaults: Time Machine, Time, and Spotlight.

I keep my menu bar very minimalistic and with only a few very useful applications. I love minimalism.
Droplr - Image / file hosting application.
Spotlight - You should know what this is.

I’ve been inspired by the minimalist movement on Mac Menu Bars, and decided to clean up my already-slim menubar. I use Quicksilver as my launcher, and disabled Spotlight (both the icon and service). My other icons:
Dropbox - ‘nuff said. Wish I could hide the icon, though.
Breeze - Great window resizing tool
System Volume - I work with music a lot, so this is a must
Keyboard - I’m one of those crazy dvorak users, so I need to keep this here to switch back to qwerty for friends/colleagues who borrow my laptop
Clock - Analog ftw
Watts - Great battery icon replacement, though I wish the images for the battery state were a bit cleaner

Dropbox - Crucial for sharing with remote team
Bluetooth - Great for sharing with local team
Wifi - Do not regularly use this but when I need it using the System Prefs takes too long
Spotlight - Because I can’t make it go away

Something perhaps a little different.
My menu bar has nothing in it—I don’t seem to be able to get rid of Dropbox, but I did find .
(From John Sutherland)
Dropbox - Duh.
Battery - Don’t even know if I really need this. It warns me when I’m really low, right?
Clock - Can’t read analog, ha.
Spotlight - Seriously, why does everyone keep telling me to get Quicksilver or similar, it’s all built into Spotlight.
