macOS Version

Sonoma 14.5

I realized that if I mouse over the menubar area, the issue resolves itself. I hope this extra info is helpful.

Could you try the following steps to see if this fixes it:

Open VLC's settings
Navigate to the Video tab
Check "Use the native fullscreen mode"
Restart VLC

That being said, if this does fix it, it's just a bandage over the problem. It looks like VLC uses its own fullscreen method that Ice will have to check for specifically.

Indeed, that setting resolves the issue. Thanks for the info.

I'm very appreciate of this software. It is a marvelous alternative to Bartender.
