I saw some people complain about the notch (I like it but tastes differ), so I made a little utility that makes the menu bar black so the Notch fades away in the background. The app takes your wallpaper and modifies it to add a black bar at the top.

@richard_f_zhang could re-use a lot of code, and as soon as I had the idea I didn't want to sleep until it was out! ;)

@jordi_bruin love it!

@richard_f_zhang @jordi_bruin Well done, then. I was originally going to post a sarcastic post along the lines of "took you long enough" but, seriously, just well done.

Who wants to pay to reduce their screen real estate?

@mickc79 As far as I understand the video, it doesn't reduce screen real estate. It changes the style of the menu bar so the notch appears to be gone.

@mickc79 It just blends the menubar with the bezels so you keep the same real estate.

Saw a comment last night on reddit, and had most of the code already done from another project so I spent a few hours to make a small app to hide the Notch for the people that don't like the extra pixels on their new MacBooks! Forehead also allows you to round all the corners of your MacBook, similar to the top corners on the new MacBook Pro. Updates coming later include adding a Notch to older Macs (because why not). Let me know if you run into anything, as I'm sure there's some bugs left. I'll be uploading the source code later today as well after I've cleaned it up. That way you can build it yourself with Xcode.
