Arranging Menu Bar icons in Leopard

Got a few icons in your Menu Bar and you’d like to change the order they’re displayed in? You’re in luck, they’re fairly easy to move around. Just hold your Command key and drag them into the order you prefer.

Want to get rid of an icon? Hold the Command key and drag it off the menu bar. Gone!

This method doesn’t work with the Apple icons, but not with all apps. Some exceptions to this method are Google Notifier, Tweeie, and Adium. To rearrange these, exit the apps and relaunch them in the order you’d like them to appear from right to left. If they are apps in your Startup Items, you can change the order they launch in to reorder them in the menu bar.
