Does not make notch go away on MBP 16" Sonoma 14.1

[CalderBot]

Thank you for making this app. I want to be able to use the entire screen.

On MBP 16" Sonoma 14.1, clicking "Hi Notch" "Bye Notch" has no effect.

Hi there!

Thanks for fixing this so quickly! I am an iOS developer but I’ve never run a MacBook app from source.

After I clone your project, what is the command to run ByeNotch?

Of course! There is no need to clone. Simply download the app from here:

https://github.com/ignaciojuarez/ByeNotch/releases/tag/v2.1

and click on the .app.zip to download 👍🏻

Give it a star and AppStore review :)

Then you will have to go here to allow an app to open from the internet. The update should be in the App Store tomorrow either way.

Hi Ignacio,

I saw the update was live today so I tried it, and unfortunately it does not hide the notch on my 16" MBP.

Instead, it makes the screen black all the way across at the height of the notch. The result is that you don't see a notch, but you have still lost that top 10% of the screen.

But maybe I am confused about your intent: is the idea to keep ALL of the screen area as if there was no camera there? Or maybe even if the notch has to stay, allow apps to open up to the very top of the screen instead of all being forced below the notch altitude? That would be great, even if it meant that some part of the app is hidden by the notch.

Anyway, thanks for working on this!

Hello @CalderBot! You can see the app description and images, the app's intent is to add that black bar up top. Some apps make a border all around the screen to accommodate the notch. The purpose of ByeNotch, is to allow those legacy apps to run in fullscreen.

Ahh, okay thanks for clearing that up. When I saw “get the top 10% of the screen back” I thought this would make the top part usable. Darn!
