Daily Trick 22. Assign Login Items
Advertisements
Having downloaded some nice menubar applications, the problem of always keeping those menubar items launched upon login may arise. One reader pointed out the absence of an option to keep the item automatically activated (like in Dock).
Unfortunately, there isn't any quick way to always launch the menubar items. The only way is by assigning it to our login items, which can be done by following these steps:
- Open Menubar Apple → System Preferences
- Go under Accounts → Login Items
- There you will see several applications that are already assigned as login items
- Search for the [+] and use it to add more login items
- You can also choose whether to hide the application with provided checkbox
It is always good to remember that the more you have applications assigned as your login items, the longer it will take for your start-up time.

Best thing to do is keep your login items to a minimum, and put all the stuff you want to launch after you login into an automator action, which you then save as an application. This way your mac still starts up quickly, and all you have to do then launch the one automator application/action.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.pdRy5h15vBeTw6hA
