In an attempt to address complaints of early MacBook Pro owners, Apple has published a support document explaining how users can make an app’s menu bar appear below the notch of the newly-launched 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
In case you are out of the loop, it all started when YouTuber Quinn Nelson tweeted videos where the menubar items of certain apps went behind the notch. In addition, there are some inconsistencies with the mouse pointer’s behavior when you take it near the notch. Apple has now published a support post with a workaround to hide the notch while using misbehaving apps.
After turning on this option for an app, MacBook will automatically scale down the display to fit below the notch. And well, you will have a massive top bezel on your MacBook Pro once again! Notably, all apps that share the same workspace will appear below the camera until you quit the scaled app. Apple seems to have also added a subtle transition animation when you are switching between modes and you can check the feature in action below:
