Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, most of this is not possible due to limitations in macOS.
To address your points:
- Inset shapes can only happen on screens with a notch due to the extra height of the menu bar. We have enough space to effectively draw the desktop background over parts of the menu bar as a separate layer, giving the illusion that the menu bar is inset. This is also how Ice draws the split and rounded shapes, as well as the tint.
- It is not possible to change the size or position of the menu bar.
- Because we're not actually changing the color of the menu bar, but drawing a tint over it, a transparent option is not possible.
- What you're seeing is the window shadow being clipped by the overlay Ice is adding. This is normal, and can't be avoided.
- This one can be addressed, and there is an issue open for it (#58).

Hey Jordan,
Would love to see a a few features to your Ice app. Super cool what you are working on!!
1.) This is active on screens with a notch. Curious if you can create a second option to [Use inset shape on 2nd monitor/screens without a notch as well]
2.) Is it possible to increase the height of the menubar on a 2nd monitor/screens without a notch to match the height of MacBook Pro with a notch?
3.) Would love to see a transparent option for the color picker for the solid fill. I have a dynamic wallpaper that moves between light and dark and would love for that color to either dynamically change to match the wallpaper or to be 0% opacity to perfectly match the color of the wallpaper.
4.) When I drag a window close to the menubar or when it's flush to the top, the menu takes on a slight tint. Is that normal?
5.) When switching between macOS spaces, the menu flashes the original menubar for a moment before rendering.
Much appreciated,
Tyler
