Greetings,

Someone told me to install an Ice application on my MacBook Air macOS 26.1 Tahoe. It's getting really annoying that icons disappear from the menu bar.For example, if I want to access my WireGuard VPN application to see if I'm connected, I have to go into settings, uncheck the VPN, and then enable it to see that application back on my menu bar. Other applications also now I have this stupid icon on my menu bar a keyboard settings that I don't want it just showed up.

Apple Should let the user customize or have and option to have what you want shown on your menu bar and hide what you don't want.Ive checked in settings menu bar and doc and can't get rid of that stupid KB setting that's on my menu bar that I don't want.

I know that there a menu bar customization application ice or bartender 6 is it safe to install any of those application on my MBA ?

Cheers,
Marko~

I am running Bartender 6. It is working pretty well for me, though I am not using all the fancy features.
You can also try Ice. I was using it during the Tahoe beta stages and with 26.0 until 2 weeks ago, but it was never quite good enough. Many are very happy with Ice.
