KOBALT  Don't know what version 1.x was like, but this version is the bee's knees! Easy to install, easy to set up, easy to use, easy on the eye. You've got my vote!

LEO SPILL  I think Magical is a better clock replacement. It's more OS like and you can color differentiate between time and date which you can't do with MyMenuDate. The background color option in MyMenuDate is tacky and very un-mac-like. The calendar isn't a click away and while interesting that you can drag it away, it's so ugly you probably wouldn't want it always in your face.

If the Magical UK developers were to cut CPU a tad it would be a cinch but compared to the ugly GUI mess that is MyMenuDate, well it's really a choice between beauty and the beast. Unfortunately the beauty is also a bit of a CPU beast.

PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Thanks for the kind words about the low memory resources required by MyMenuDate.

The background color is indeed an option. It can be disabled to use the standard Mac colors.

The free trial is a great way to see if MyMenuDate is what you are looking for. Most people find it's nearly unlimited configuration options to be very beneficial.

MIYAMOTOFREAK  I may just buy this. It's way better than magical in CPU amount, its extremely customizable, and reasonably priced. Any suggestions on a good looking date? Right now I have mine looking like this:

EL-CRAVITO  Not another comment, but a correction to something I wrote in my previous post:

Instead of "then there's no way I'm NOT going to pay", please read "then there's no way I'm going to pay".

That "not" should have stayed in the keyboard. It inverted the sense of the phrase.

Please excuse me.

PMALOS  Take it easy cravito, it's only 5 bucks. If money's a problem, maybe you could get a job mowing lawns or something.

EL-CRAVITO  Dear developer:

I respect your opinion, but I'm not convinced at all.

If I can get for free what I need, then there's no way I'm not going to pay.

And when I read about a little menubar calendar that it is "tuned for high-performance", I really don't know what else to say...

PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Yes, there are many menu clocks for the Mac, but MyMenuDate provides the most flexible display options including virtually unlimited date, time, color, font, and size options.

We feel that MyMenuDate offers the best customization options at a very low price.

Just try it for yourself and see if MyMenuDate is what you are looking for.

EL-CRAVITO  And don't forget MagiCal. It' a nice calendar. And it's completely free!

I know it does not include all the bells & whistles of MenuCalendarClock. But to use all the features of MenuCalendarClock, including iCal integration, you'll have to pay almost 20 dollars. And MaigiCal is free.

PLAIDVESTSOFTWARE  Thanks for your feedback. MyMenuDate offers a different experience than other menu apps. MyMenuDate offers a fully customizable date and time display within the menubar so that you can pick the format you want to see.

This allows a quick-glance experience instead of the more application-based MenuCalendarClock app.

We've kept the price low to reflect the fact that MyMenuDate is focused on a single task - to provide the most flexible menu date clock/calendar display for the Mac including background/foreground color selection, font selection, and font size.

ANDY49  This developer is the best. He responds to questions and is open to suggestions and works tirelessly to solve problems. MyMenuDate is the best program of its kind. It uses a minimal amount of memory and is one of those little programs that should have been incorporated within the OSX system in the first place.
