Ever wondered how to increase your OS X Menu Bar “clutter”? Actually, sorry. The question should be “have you ever wondered what other Menu Bar functionality Apple has available for your system?

Rather than manually navigating to within the Finder to /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu (caution if you’re mucking about within the System folder), checkout MacMage’s Menu Butler. This simple widget provides users with a simple interface to add Menu Bar extras.

To remove extra menu bar items, simply drag the icon from your Apple Menu bar while holding down the CMD (Apple key). This wouldn’t be an OS X menu bar related post if I didn’t ask: What’s in your Menu Bar? If you’re looking for additional menu extras, there is always the exhaustive list of options here.
