I am not the target audience for macOS menu bar managers like Ice. You can drag-reorder icons in pure macOS without any third-party software, and the additional options seem unnecessary.
- omnimus 2y agoWhy would anyone write comment like this? Like does it add anything to the discussion? Who cares that you dont use menubar apps so you dont need Bartender.
- freehorse 2y agoBecause some people may just need this so it is good for them to know, in conjunction to this https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/16lpfg5/hidden_preference_to_alter_the_menubar_spacing/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/16lpfg5/hidden_prefe... > to change the spacing in the menubar and I found out it changes two preferences: ``` defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int X defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int Y ``` > which can be reverted with ``` defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding ``` I learnt about these in a similar topic here. I do not need anything more from a bar app really, so I do not need to install an additional app for sth that I can just handle through a couple of preferences changes in the terminal. For people who do need more functionality, they can get one of these tools.
- anileated 2y agoI opened the README and Usage section only showed how to reorder items, nothing else. This app is utterly unnecessary for that purpose. I thought, perhaps other macOS users are unaware of that, and my comment would help.
- msephton 2y agoIt shows how to reorder them into groups that are hidden temporarily and/or permanently. Very useful to keep a clutter free and optimised workspace.
