Hey MacBros.

Was wondering if there is a way to keep all your screens 'in focus' at the same time.

i.e working on screen 1, and screen 2s menubar meanwhile fades out. i want all screens to be the focus at all times.

is that possible?

Whilst this is not the perfect solution, it sounds to me like un-ticking "Displays have separate Spaces" (Under Mission Control preferences) might be a better solution for you.

I know the pain you speak of. Both solutions aren't 100% great for me.

thanks for the comment! i was aware of that setting already, and its not really what I'm after.

Possibly, even having one long menu bar, spread across the screens would be amazing.. so i don't have 2 or 3 spotlights, and 2 or 3 times, across all monitors.. how is there not an app for this

I use a small app called "multimon" which can give you apple>file>edit etc finder bar on each display.
