I've used this for years and view it as essential software on Mac. (For those who don't have iStat Menus and would like to do something similar, a free alternative that specifically serves this function is Itsycal.)Ģ) Not free, but consider purchasing Bartender. This is significantly smaller than having "Sep 27" displayed in the date and time. Enable its "Time" menu bar item for the date to show in a smaller square, and change the macOS setting to not show the date (System Settings > Control Center > scroll down to the "Menu Bar Only" area and click on "Clock Options," then for Show Date set "Never"). I have two suggestions for you as possible work-arounds and to improve:ġ) You already have iStat Menus. ![]() I did submit feedback to apple through but my track record with hearing back is not good. And it doesn't just look bad, it's functionally silly that I'm clicking on the Finder to get to functions I use all the time in the menu bar and still not seeing all of them. ![]() Honestly this just kind of looks like a sloppy mess to me. My display is on the 1352x878 equivalent resolution. Before the update, I had everything so it just barely fit. All of my iStat menus remain hidden except for the weather icon. The rewind icon stays hidden as does Chroma (which I use to control my Hue lights). I spend almost all of my time in Chrome, and I find myself clicking on the Finder icon constantly to get to my other menu bar icons. Chrome had never spanned past the notch before, and I'm not sure if it's just that it has the extra word Google or if there's extra spacing, as well, but now Window and Help are to the right of the notch which they never were before. It used to just show Chrome in the menu bar. But they don't.Īnd for some reason, upgrading to Sonoma now makes Google Chrome show its entire name. And they could let you put it in Control Center. ![]() They could easily put the functionality of showing the screen is being observed and the screen is being recorded into the same icon's drop down menu. In Sonoma there's a new icon showing the screen is being recorded, which is for a different application that I use, called Rewind. I have a complicated set up where I almost always have my MBP's screen shared, which necessarily means there is an unavoidable screen sharing menu bar icon. I'm somewhat new to a notched MacBook (MacBook Pro 14"), but I hadn't really had issues with overcrowding and the notch until updating to Sonoma.
