Re:Show HN: EasyRes – a fast OS X screen resolution switcher... by tobych on Tuesday September 10, 2013 @02:16AM (#6358469)
Bought. Nice. One thing: the icon has ended up as the far-left icon in my menu bar, and vanishes at anything less than full resolution. I might need to get BarTender, to help deal with that, but perhaps you can do something to help. Maybe I just need to learn how to arrange my icons in a particular order.

Unfortunately third-party MAS apps can only add items to the menu bar, first come first served. The last item is added on the left. You have to run EasyRes before the other apps to get its menu bar item to appear first. Apple's system menu bar items appear on the right-hand side, and can be moved around using command-drag. We don't get access to that, unless we use private APIs (like iStat Menus does) but then we cannot distribute via the Mac App Store.

Thanks for the tip on Bartender. Now I can hide all those crufty work-provided menubar items and also the super-useful-but-not-deserving-menu-item-space apps like F.lux
