(Issue) Boring notch covering text from menubar

[djenttleman]

Hi, when I'm using an app with long menubar options, boring notch covers text. Any way to expand the radius in system for better display of menubar?

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. There is no workaround to detect if the app is overlapping a menubar element. Soon you will able to fine-tune the notch size, also a temporary hide feature will be available. Keep your eyes on updates.

Is it possible to detect if the physical notch itself (not the boringNotch app) is obscuring menus and then allow those menus to be shown when hovering over boringNotch?

I don't think it's possible. The area underneath the physical notch, is considered as safeArea on macOS, menubar logic won't let a menu item to render partially or fully overlapped by the notch. So from macOS side no need for such detection. The only solution we can provide is a temporary hide option.

Sorry @richardkunkli was wondering if this update you are talking about will take into account the possibility of hiding boring notch on notchless macs, when on full screen or autohide it and open ir again when hovering.
I use an app which auto hides my statusbar elements and when boringnotch is active, I can´t see my statusbar elements

Working on a better solution. The next update will only contain bug fixes I believe, no bigs.
