Hi again! A couple things: - If I click away from a MenubarX window, it doesn't close. The only way to close it is by clicking the icon in the top menu. Would be nicer just to be able to click away to close it :) - Why only provide widths and heights as per popular phones? Being able to drag bigger/smaller would make day-to-day use easier. Oh and BTW I couldn't remember the name of the app (sorry, that's on me) and I couldn't find it anywhere even in Preferences! Finally stumbled on it in the "Pro" section of preferences. Just a thought :)

@nate_dame Thank you for those feedbacks. Please make sure you have MenubarX version 1.2.5+. - Now you can toggle MenubarX by `Option + X` and hide window by `CMD + W / H / M` - Also you can drag the window to resize it now. Check this https://menubarx.app/faq/ About the name, you can find it in dropdown menu and `About Page`.

@hzlzh Thank you! I do have version 1.2.5. It still would be helpful to be able to click away from the MenubarX window and have it close IMO. And to have fully customizable widths/heights, not just a preset list of possibilities. And thanks I found the name, just wanted you to know it was hard to find. Hard to share with friends if I can't remember or easily find the name :) :)

@nate_dame v1.2.7 released. You can use keyboard shortcut like `OPTION+X` to toggle window, and `CMD+H` `CMD+M` to hide/close it. We have support window resize from right bottom of the location bar. You can share MenubarX to your friend by send official Homepage MenubarX.app - A powerful menu bar browser.

@hzlzh Hurray custom resizing! Although consider allowing resizing from any edge of the window (just like regular windows). It gets clunky just being able to adjust only from bottom right (for example, can only make it so wide before my cursor hits the edge of my screen), plus I never would have found that on my own!! Just a thought. Keep it up this is shaping up to be pretty awesome!!

Love it! ALMOST perfect - can you make it so a "tab" runs in the background? Playing music via a menubar tab stops if you close :(

@nate_dame You can Pin window and resize it into a very small one, or you can use Option + X as a keyboard shortcut to toggle the window.

@hzlzh Amazing! That did it - thank you so much! IMO if this ability to "keep it open even after you navigate away" was easier to get to or easier to accomplish, may help enablement - at least it sure would have helped me :) Keep it up!!

As someone who has a ton of tabs open at once, this seems really helpful in finding what Im looking for. Will it slow my computer down the same way that having many tabs open does?

Congrats on the launch and building such a neat product, can’t wait to use it. It would be great if it worked with slack - just for DMs for example Can you use keyboard shortcuts to open each of them?
