It's not that bad ... if you turn off the menu bar then you can turn it  
back on from the big red O on the left end of the tab bar.

But ... if you have turned off the tab bar you are not entirely stuffed  
... right click on any bar that you still have showing to get into  
'appearance' and then you can turn back on the tab bar which you can then  
use to turn on the menu bar.

Oh dear, oh dear ... why can't I turn the menu bar back on directly from  
the 'appearance' panel?

I quite like the way the tab bar is moved up into the blue 'windows' space  
but it's sad that stops when the personal bar is turned on. I guess I will  
have to see if I can live with the personal bar at the bottom instead of  
at the top :-)

One thing I don't like ... in 10.2 with the menu bar off, the menus are  
very clearly shown as a separate column via the button on the left end of  
the tab bar (it's not a big red O in 10.2 so I didn't call it that!) ...  
in 10.5 I think everything from the menu bar is there, but it's sort of  
jumbled in with everything so clear "Menu > Tools > xyz" won't work.

Just some mumblings from Malcolm.
