When I run a higher display resolution, I can usually view all the status bar icons... and I've got quite a few of them:
1600x1000
However, when I want to make the DPI larger by reducing the resolution - e.g. when screen mirroring, or just wanting to make the UI elements easier to access when using a remote touchpad, the status icons list often can't display in its entirety like so, when I'm at 1280x800:
An application called AccessMenuBarApps https://www.ortisoft.de/en/accessmenubarapps/ handles this in the following fashion:
It acts as a separate application that can be triggered by a keyboard hotkey, or a click on its icon. The application itself does not have any menus defined, allowing for as many status icons to be displayed as almost the entirety of the screen width allows.
Ideally, I'd want the hidden icons to show up underneath the menu bar, as a secondary row. I can understand if it'd be too difficult of a task for now.
It is an older application however, available only as an Intel binary. On a M1 I get many inexplicable crashes, and it tends to not boot up along with the system even if it's in the Login Items list.
