I really hate it. I lose menu bar applications and application menus behind it literally every single day.
I don't mind that it exists and that some people prefer it to large bezels... I just wish there was a way to say "claim my screen is -X pixels and show me the full menu" like before. Without both requiring one app to be full screen and that crazy scaling mode that makes everything fuzzy.
That’s literally possible… there’s some criteria that will force the display into that mode (although I can’t remember off hand what it is)
Full screen app + tell it to shrink (afaik only available if it doesn't natively declare support for the notch).
And it achieves it by scaling the whole screen ever so slightly, ruining pixel offsets everywhere and making everything fuzzy, seemingly so it doesn't ever present a non-standard display ratio despite the notch being very non-standard already, and despite full screen apps already working on external monitors that can have any ratio.
It's not an option anywhere else. Nor would I want that fuzzy mess anyway. It's such an insane design.
