Just upgraded to the most current version of Evernote that my Mac can support due to the older versions no longer syncing as of a month ago. I also want to remove the Evernote icon in the menu bar. It's annoying and gets in the way of other things. I don't understand why any software would not give their users the option of customization. It's clearly been a feature request for a while and was not an issue with previous versions. It's one of a few UI changes that make the app more difficult to use now compared to previous versions.

This issue makes it really difficult for me to manage my ever-changing lists. I have started using my own symbols in place of checkboxes to avoid the extra space between lines. Can we have the option to at least disable this formatting style? I re-arrange items on my task lists as priorities change, and I find it difficult to visually separate where one task ends and another begins.
