do you have a dark wallpaper or use dark mode all the time?Wow thats crazy. I have been using an M2 Air with a notch for a year+ and I had forgotten there was a notch until I saw your comment. I had a look up and see ....my laptop has a notch. Apparently it doesnt bother me....
I don't and it was very distracting when I used it with the notch. Plus the menu bar items keep disappearing due to running out of space.
