I had this app called Spark for working environment communication.

However, the status bar icon of this app is so ugly that I avoid look at it every time when I glimpsing over status bar.

The worst thing is there is no option for hide it in the settings. Is there anyway that I can forcefully remove it?

    Have you tried pressing cmd + dragging the icon out of the bar?

    Please check the options within Spark. Apps often have an checkbox to hide icon from status bar.

    As Spark is an open source project, consider logging a bug or requesting the ability to turn off the status bar icon. It may already be possible but poorly documented.

Try Bartender. This lets you hide (as well as re-arrange) menu bar items, as well as providing a secondary menu bar so that you can hide icons from the main bar but still have access to them on a keyboard shortcut or menu bar item.

  • Looks good, however, it costs $15. Do you have any cheaper or free alternatives?

There is an app called Broomstick. It's free and can hide any app icon in the menubar.

  • Please note it's not officially compatible with Mavericks.

  • Broomstick also doesn't support the app that I want to hide, and I need to submit a request for hide that app.
