I wonder how this will work with Apple Calendar or Safari in full screen (with the new iOS 15 compact tabs). I wonder if they are moving to a concept of full screen where the top bar is always visible.
- dmart 5y agoFrom the marketing images on the website, it looks like fullscreen apps will just have a black bar across the top. Kind of frustrating! The inaccessibility of the top menu bar is the main reason I never use the native full-screen mode on macOS. Since the menu bar is now within the extra added space on top, I hope we eventually get the option to leave it visible.
- threatofrain 5y agoIf for many apps the top part of the screen is just going to be opaque black with no content, then that might push me towards a kind of full screen where the top menu bar is always available.
- danielagos 5y agoThe new version of macOS allows to show the menu bar at all times, even if the app is in full-screen: > Full-screen menu bar. You have the option to display the menu bar at all times in full screen so you can easily view the app menu and other glanceable information anytime.

- dmart 5y agoOh, nice! Thanks for pointing that out. Seems a little strange they didn't use that in the marketing shots to show off the extra screen real estate.
