Beating a dead horse (notch)

[benwiggy]

I barely notice the notch on my M4 MBP.

The only time I notice there's a notch, is when I see one of these posts.

This is the only time when I notice the notch – when menu options get moved to its right. I got genuinely confused the other day – ‘where *is* the Window menu?!’ and it took me longer than I’d like to admit to find it. 😬

Set your background to solid black and it's gone.

I don't mind the notch on the iPhone, but I really dislike the notch on the MacBook. So...

Settings, Displays, show all resolutions,
change from 1470*956(Default) to 1470*918
and the notch is gone, semi-permanently, no need to change wallpapers or whatever.
yeah, you lose a weensie bit of screen but you now have a full unsullied menu bar.

Apple just needs to bring dynamic island to the mac.

I use Bartender to keep the menubar as uncluttered as possible anyways, so I don't even worry about the notch in day to day use.

Bartender is awesome, I also rely on it to mange my menubar.

Just use a black background, and you don't see the notch

The easiest solution is to attach the MBP to an external monitor. Done. No more notch.

Black wallpaper on top. Or a black strip on top of your wallpaper.
