I only used it for a few minutes. Maybe I will give it a longer try. I found
it did not play "nice" with Safari when I want to the address bar and pretty
much said "nope".

I also like to see the time and some other info on my menu bar - so might
not be for me. Does not mean it is a bad feature... just not one I am likely
to use long term.
