Apple adds new “notch avoiding” setting on the new MacBook Pro

Some apps, especially those with a lot of menus and custom menus have run into problems with the notch on the new MacBook Pro. Here’s a Twitter thread with a few examples (sound on).

If you do run into this issue, Apple offers an app-specific fix:

You can adjust an app’s settings so that it uses the whole display or uses only the area below the camera housing.

Follow the headline link for details but, in a nutshell, Apple added a “Scale to fit below built-in camera” checkbox to the app’s Get Info window. Check it, and the app will run with the menu bar below the notch.

Good to know.
