How to Fit More Menu Bar Applications on MacOS

  • FinderFinder

Do you find that your menu bar apps are getting hidden behind your notch? Are you okay with a more "squished" looking menu bar like this one?

Run these two magic commands in the terminal to let the squishing begin!

defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding -int 2   
defaults -currentHost write -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing -int 2

Need to revert? Here's how:

defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain NSStatusItemSelectionPadding
defaults -currentHost delete -globalDomain NSStatusItemSpacing
