And not only that, I think the separators are a style element which set us appart from the plain Apple style, and we need to be different so our menu system won't be an obvious rip-off. > Here's something else I came up with when running the menubar system: > When clicking the date and other future menulets, one may expect a popup > menu to open that allows to change the date and other things.
