SkypeMenuX is a menu that allows you to access Skype status and buddy info from the MacOS X System Notification area (the iconic menus on the right hand side of the MacOS X menu bar). Similar in nature to the iChat menu but for skype.

This is version 0.6b.

When you select one of your online buddies listed in the menu, a submenu will appear that can be used to start either a voice call or an Instant Message (IM) chat window with that buddy.

This version also brings a preferences window that allows you to request SkypeMenuX and Skype to launch at startup.
