  Curious how it is achieved, whether to redraw it myself or hook it in to change the original logic

  @ Anonymous11834 requires screen recording permission, and it can be clicked even if the click position is hidden, so it is probably covered with a layer

  bartender has been asking for screen recording permissions since it was sold. Am I thinking too much?

  Hey, the most unbearable thing about changing m1 to m4 is that the bangs are used as icons In the end, I had to change the resolution to avoid it

  Just thinking about it feels like it wastes electricity, so I don't install it

  You can use this open source, https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice

  It is recommended to use other similar applications or open source projects: https://github.com/jordanbaird/Ice bartender related discussion questions: /t/1046945

  @ Anonymous2047 This problem seems that all similar projects can't be avoided on new macos systems. Just open the drop down float bar and it will appear.

  ice also supports it. However, there will be bugs in multi-screen.

  @ Anonymous2605 It seems that all software with similar functions is implemented by covering a layer. I wonder if you, as a developer, have any insights. If you only use the most basic function of hiding icons, will it cost less electricity if the amount of calculation is smaller?
• Anonymous2605 Apr 12, 2025
  @ Anonymous357 Yes, if you just simply hide the icon, it won't affect the battery life. However, if the menu bar beautification and automation functions involve image operation, the higher CPU usage will consume more electricity. However, both Barbee and Bartender have optimizations for battery usage, which will reduce the frequency of some actions that consume CPU.
