Launching Tuesday: what would you want your Mac's menu bar to look like?

by

Hi everyone, I'm Ah Yasin, a solo developer from Türkiye, and Dynamic Menu Bar launches here on Tuesday, September 22.

The short version: since macOS Tahoe the menu bar has no real background, and you can't give it a color. Dynamic Menu Bar paints it for you. It can match whatever is on your screen live, hold a solid color or gradient, drift through hues, react to your music, round your screen corners, or turn into a floating pill, with a different look for every app.

I posted it on r/macapps today and the feedback already changed my roadmap. Someone asked for the classic Mac OS X menu bars (Panther, Tiger, Leopard) as presets, and someone else found a real bug with Netflix playback that I'm now chasing.

So before launch day I'd love to ask you the same thing:

1. If you could restyle your menu bar, what would you go for? Invisible, colorful, retro, something else?

2. Is there anything about the Tahoe menu bar that annoys you every day?

There's a free 7-day trial at if you want to try it before Tuesday. I read and answer everything here.
