Q: The menu bar at the top of the screen is overflowing with icons.  As I add them they only appear if there is enough room.  Is there a way to see more icons in the menu bar?

    Answering my own question I have come across Bartender that lets you move icons to it then shows its own icon in the tray.  So by moving the less used icons frees up space and by clicking on Bartender you can see the other ones.  So it is a reasonable solution.  It has free trial for 28 days.  I think I will buy it though as it solves the problem I have.  Does anyone know of any other solution?
