First Flaw of the Notch

[Rafterman]

Well, I noticed most apps are not aware of the notch, so when they put an icon in the menu bar and you encroach next to the notch, these icons going past the notch will hide under it. Still active, but you can't see them.

I recommend Bartender for Mac... best $15 you will ever spend on an app.

It's a nice utility, but it does nothing to manage the hiiden icons that disappear behind the notch.

Scratch that, I do see an option to make it usable to reveal hidden icons.

If the notch really bothers you and you don't care about the extra screen space for the menu, I recommend this utility called QuickRes - it seems to open up resolutions that completely ignore that space so it just seems like the large bezel on top is back.

This is the 14" MacBook Pro.

I use that app, but how can we recover the lost space to the left and right of the notch?
