    Still no apple solution for notch & menu bar?

    Is it strange for me to assume that macOS should resolve the menu bar issue when there are too many items on it and simply get covered by the notch? I have been using Bartender since the M1 Pro MacBooks and just deleted it to find out whether there is a macOS solution.... I am trying the GitHub...

    Wheel/Gear icon showing up on menu bar when setting a picture as wallpaper from Finder.

    So since the latest Sonoma update i've discovered that when I set a picture (jpg/png) as a wallpaper directly from Finder (right click - set as wallpaper) a small gear/wheel icon appears for a split second on the top menu bar on my Mac. Is there any information about what it could be? Anyone...

    Can you customize behavior of the "hide menu bar" setting?

    Hi friends! I'm looking to see if it's possible to fix one of my biggest annoyances in macOS right now. I have a 14-inch notched MacBook Pro, where it makes sense to have the menu bar always visible (even in full screen apps). However, I use the Mac either docked or connected to a 16:9 monitor...

    Menu bar extras moved to the left?

    On macOS Ventura 13.1, my status menus/menu bar extras moved to the left instead of staying to right randomly and have defaulted in that position? Is there anyway to fix this issue and has anyone encounter this bug before and fixed? All helps appreciated thanks.

    How to get rid of horizontal line beneath the menu bar on top?

    Hi guys, I can't get rid of what seems to be a 1 pixel horizontal space between the top menu bar, and the application window. With the mouse, I can't push the app any upper. There is still this 1px space. Granted, if I maximize the app window, the 1px line disappears, but so does the menu bar...

    Navigating system menu bar items with keyboard?

    Is it possible to navigate within system menu bar items (Sound, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc) with the keyboard, say with the tab key? For example, I've built an Alfred Workflow that lets me open the 'Sound' menu bar item by typing 'snd', and this works. However, I can't hit 'tab' to start navigating...
