   Ah! what a nice and elegant solution.
   I didn't even thought about that approach (to use fluid like this).

   Miki,
   
   Those were my thoughts exactly. The new version of Fluid has some great features. Converting an app in to a menu bar icon has to be one of my favorites.

   I've also had some experiences in using Fluid.app: Besides creating single app for an URL address, Fluid also has the notification feature, like the one we have for our Mail.app.
   
   Thanks for the nice trick, now I have made Fluid application for my Yahoo! Mail :-) June 26th, 2008 at 9:52 pm
