[Feature Request] Move menu bar away from screen edges #32

Closed fastnlight0 closed 4 months ago

In bartender, you can move the menu bar away from the screen edges, which, in my opinion, looks really cool. Is it possible for this to be implemented in Ice? Currently, in split mode the bar is still connected to the screen edge, and I wanted to move it slightly away from the edge.

Is this on one of the newer MacBooks with the bigger menu bar? Because macOS doesn't give control over the exact position of the menu bar. Bartender is likely just insetting the size of the menu bar on the newer devices. Ice can definitely do the same, I just don't have access to a newer MacBook to test it on.

Could you post a screenshot of what it looks like on the same machine with Ice?

I have a standard MacBook Pro without the notch and bigger menu bar. The screenshot is from Bartender's website. I think you may be right, and it only works on MacBooks with the notch. Here's what it looks like on my computer with Ice:

The menu bar is directly attached to the edges of the screen. If it's not possible to inset the bar a little bit, that's fine. Feel free to close this issue if this is the case.
