How to Place Application in Finder Menubar

A simple trick to place an application in finder menubar. I use this trick for iTunes, Transmission and Yahoo Messenger. I find it convenient for switching applications by using more mouse action and less keyboard, in applications that I always check.

Adding Apllication Icon in Menubar:
  • Open Applications in Finder. By double clicking Macintosh HD > Applications. Or Cmd + Shift + A (A), something which looks like this will appear.
  • Im my case, i already have 2 applications in my Finder Menubar. I like to add iTunes in the Menubar. Find the any application that you would like to put in menubar, in my case iTunes. Then, drag the application in the menubar where you want to put them. Wait until the dotted box appear in the menubar, then release.
  • Its already set and ready to roll. But if you want to Move your application in the menubar, just press and hold Command Key() and then drag the application in the menubar you want to move it into. I moved the iTunes icon beside Yahoo Messenger icon.
Removing Application Icon in Menubar:

Press and hold Command Key ()
Drag the application you want to remove outside the menubar until something like a crumpled paper or cloud like figure appears beneath your cursor.
And its gone..
You can play around and arrange your Icons in the Finder Menubar to suit your preferences.
