The menubaricon in Chrystalview is nice but the menubaricon and popup menu in Fusion 3 is better (GUI). Parallels Desktop 5.x has a weird icon in the menubar and the dock. And the structure of the popupmenu in Parallels Desktop 5.x isn't that handy compare to the VMWare's menuicon and popupmenu... FWIW
completely agree. Having a way to run applications quickly, access the control panel and see ALL the menus (collapsed somehow) would really be a nice update.
Have you guys tried holding "Option" key when clicking the the menubar icon? Probably, that's what you are looking for
