Why don the Synergy menu bar controls hide immediately when I quit iTunes?
This is not a bug, but a consequence of a design decision. One of Synergy’s design goals is to be minimise load on system resources, and so it reduces CPU usage by only querying the status of iTunes once every 3 seconds. As a result, if you have checked the box, “Display controls only when iTunes is running” in the Menu bar settings tab you may find that there is sometimes a slight delay between iTunes launching or quitting, and Synergy’s menu bar controls changing in response. A design goal for later versions of Synergy is to improve the efficiency of communication between iTunes and Synergy so as to permit more frequent querying, most likely around once per second, and therefore greater responsiveness.
