Keep the menu bar in full screen mode

Posted in General Tips & Tricks

Full screen mode on the Mac defaults to hiding the menu bar, and while you can swing your cursor to the top of the screen to reveal the menu bar, some Mac users may prefer to have the menu bar always visible when in full screen mode.

If you want to make sure the menu bar remains visible even when in full screen mode for any app on the Mac, here’s what you can do:

• Pull down the  Apple menu and go to “System Preferences”
• Choose “Dock & Menu Bar” preferences
• Uncheck “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen” so that it’s disabled

Now when you enter full screen mode on any window or app in macOS, the menu bar will remain visible at the top of the screen.
