But a valid concern raised with the menu shortcuts is that the bar is apparently overflowing on small displays. Does anyone have an idea of how many pixels I can reasonable expect to use for my menu bar?
hi, i just have a 12" ibook at 1024x768 imo you could use 700 pixels, 730 would be the maximum, after this it gets to big. if you want to see a small menubar: http://members.lycos.co.uk/staff/ibook_menubar.png
i think nobody runs os-x on less than 1024x768 so this should be the minimum you can work with. :)
Mac OS X officially supports 800x600 as a minimum resolution. The original toilet-seat iBook models have a maximum internal display resolution of 800x600. I would encourage you to support this Mac model.
It is acceptable to design a menubar so wide that the MenuExtras (clock, battery meter, etc.) disappear, so that gives you some room.
