Huge thanks to Apple Help Writer’s blog for creating this trick, which makes the Mac display the current Wi-Fi base station name ( SSID) that it’s connected to.Īpple Help Writer’s instructions assume quite a lot of technical knowledge, so here in easy steps is how to set this up. Some icons can’t be moved, though, such as the Notification Center icon.

Secondly, don’t forget that you can move and rearrange most menu bar elements by holding down the Cmd/Command key, then clicking and dragging each icon left or right. You can just hide away some of the less vital icons until you need them. This can be incredibly useful if the menu bar gets cluttered. First, see our piece about the free-of-charge Vanilla app that lets you hide menu icons. All use free tools so will cost you nothing.ĭon’t forget two things while reading. However, you can boost this information display even more using the steps described below. It stays there no matter what (provided you don’t choose to hide it!), and the menu bar icons it contains show a host of useful info. I think it’s one of many things that makes using a Mac so much more likeable and fun. Speaking personally I love the Mac’s menu bar, which runs across the top of the screen.

Fill your Mac's menu bar with USEFUL info!
