Well… your menu items will disappear behind it still in 2026. You would need an extra app for that…

But in terms of “noticing it” you are correct. You won’t pay attention after a day or two.

EDIT: this menu managing app will need permissios to make screen captures. So much for the privacy. Forgot to mention.

I think this is one of the things they're fixing in macOS 27 golden gate, took them long enough. https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOSBeta/comments/1u0lhyz/macos_27...

  • I'm not even convinced this is a bug. Menu icons proliferated over the last couple of years, this isn't a problem unless you enable more than you have room for.

    • I agree, I keep mine pretty minimal, most are basically there as ads to remind you they exist cough cough ms teams.

There’s so many annoying bugs in Mac OS (like the screwed up window management and alt-tab not working properly), that the notch seems like an odd complaint at this point. The OS is fighting the user constantly, and there’s not much we can do…
