Oh, that was a sweet one.

But no, I was looking for the old Menuette, that changed the menus: File, Edit, Help, etc into icons, which surely didn't use so much of the screen space.

I know it will be problematic with both cocoa and aqua-applications around, but could it just help in some of them

Or maybe, if it was possible to make the menu bar doubble hight, so I could have all of my icons in the lower part, or maybe put them in a "control strip" in the side of the screen

Um. Not excessive... no. It goes well over a third of the menu bar. Time to clear things out? Maybe.
