Appearance of notch at different scaled resolutions

[stooie3000]

Hi All,

I have a quick question about the 16” MacBook Pro. On my current Mac (13” M1 MBP), changing the scaled resolution from ‘default’ to ‘more space’ makes the menu bar smaller. As I understand it, at ‘default’ on the 16” MBP the menu bar extends ever so slightly below the notch (by a few pixels or so). If you change the resolution to ‘more space’, does the notch then extend below the menu bar? Or does the menu bar stay the same height?

Apologies if this is a silly question, but I haven’t been able to find any discussion or pictures online to confirm 😅

Many thanks in advance!

The menubar height stays basically the same regardless of scaling. It changes by around 4-6 px in height, getting just a bit smaller the higher the scaling goes.

Even at non-hidpi full native resolution, rendering the icons very small compared to the menu bars static height.

When choosing a 16:9 ratio the notch becomes a black bar.

Good question though

I have an m1 MacBook Pro 14".
The notch is the notch.
One just gets used to it being there.
There really isn't much more to say.
