Since there is no way to close Finder could you add an option to hide it from the menu bar?

Hey there,

Really cool app!

Would love to see an option for app icons to fit to the black and white theme a lot of menu bar icons have. I wonder if its easy to run the dock icons through a grey-scale filter and boost the contrast to that effect.

I see this as a way to get rid of the evil dock (Ok, not evil but I don't like it). If I could empty the trash (like once a month most of the time I use rm {blah}), then its one less dependancy I have on the dock.

Hi there !

Thanks for your app, I love it.

Would it be possible to only display apps which have a window on the current space/workspace ?

Hello! Thanks for this very nice app.
One thing I may have noticed is that the space between icons is not customizable. Actually I do not want to waste the precious menubar space just for blanks...

This is what I have been looking for!
Coming from Windows, I hate the Dock! It's like a 3rd-party app taking precious space on your monitor!

I hope this app is still being maintained.

Onyx's semi perma-hide Dock (Dock still shows on Launchpad and still toggle-able) + this app = perfect!
No need to use Stage Manager anymore!

First of all: I love Menu Bar Dock, thanks for making it!

The issue: I changed the icon of an app to a different one (the original was ugly), but Menu Bar Dock still shows the old one. Is there a cache somewhere I could clear or something like that?

Hello, I am using High Sierra but the Menu-Bar background is gray, is there a possibility to change that?

Thank you,

Hi there,

What a great little tool. Thanks! I'm trying to use it to give apps that don't have them, a menu bar icon. Because of this I don't really want or need all open apps to be visible in the menu bar.

I use bartender and have played around with hiding the ones I don't want etc, which works to a point. However it also shows some unexpected behaviours, like replacing say 'Reeder' which I want available all the time, with say 'Safari', when I open it up for a search. Ideally I would like certain apps visible and stay consistently where I put them, and I want most others not to even show up. This use case probably isn't the intended use case, but what do you think of adding the option? Is it doable?

Cheers,

Miles

Context: I'm experimenting with layouts between this and bartender 4. Ideally I'd like to set an area to store the dock icons on the right either hidden in the bartender drawer or just on the menu bar.

Issue: After using menu bar dock for a while, I noticed that these "spacer" icons are appearing after closing apps. This happens both when I set bartender 4 to put all new icons on the menu-bar or in its hidden drawer.

Steps to reproduce:

• Open menu-bar-dock
• Open a bunch of applications (like MS office)
• Close all of the applications
• Open a few new applications
• Observe that the new applications have oddly spaced icons.

Given how small the icons are on the menu bar dock compared with the normal macOS dock, it may be impractical to display notification counts on the menu bar icons.

A good solution may be to display at least a red dot on the upper right hand corner for each app to show that there is at least >1 notification.

Can we have a notification dot when there are notifications for the app?

Would be great to be able to install the app from Homebrew.

Incredible work on the app. Have you considered making a sister app that shows icons only of apps with open windows?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Steam for Mac.
2. Run it.
3. Click red "Close" button.
4. Try to activate or launch steam from the menu bar.

Would be great to have the option to select wich running apps should be shown in menu bar.

Very cool app.

Would it be possible to keep the order (same as the dock maintains its order) - something as simple as alphabetical order would suffice (just to stop it juggling around while in use)?
In a similar way, could it also keep the current app in the menu, again to stop it juggling around while in use

(edit: I'd be open to a PR but I'm not a Swift dev)

Hi :). Since the new macbook pro has a really wide menu bar, all the icons on the right side can be moved to the second row on the left side. Then the dock on the right side would have more space and I think it would look cleaner (the left side would be a bit of a mess, but you could just hide a few icons under the '...' icon like the bartender for Mac).
If it is too much work or you do not like the idea, I will try to implement it someday (I don't even have my new mac yet :D) ... Unfortunately I do not have any experience with swift or this kind of apps yet.

In Sidecar on an iPad with an Apple Pencil a right click is done by pressing on the ^ symbol in the sidebar, while tapping with the pencil. But it doesn’t work on the app icons from the Menu Bar Dock in the menu bar, making the app preferences inaccessible!

Is there a way to disable sorting? That would be amazing!!

Any way to remove the invisible dividers between the music and duckstation icon below?

another example (between Chrome and Word):

just now (I'm on an online meeting with microphone):

I can actually move it when I'm doing a cmd+clickdrag but no way to remove it.
No weird apps installed on my end.

here are my settings:

Just curious before I try adding it to my stack.

First off great app. Really suits my workflow 🙏

I just wanted to ask if there is a menubar manager for hiding other app menu icons that is suited using it? I have tried several (bartender, barbee, hidden bar) but get mixed results.

Are you aware of any that work well with it?

When right-click on the app icons on the menu bar, the "quit the current app" option is currently listed as the first option. I suggest swapping "quit menu bar dock" and "quite the current app" because the majority of apps always have the "quit current app" at the end of the options list.

Thank you.

The icon is displaced when the menubar is set to auto-hide in system preferences.

Having the icons show notification badges (much as they do in the standard system Dock) would be fantastic!

In the dock I can see open windows with a right click to select a specific one:

In Menu Bar Dock I don't see that option. Is there any way to enable it?

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a browser
2. Press cmd + H
3. Click the browser's icon from the menu bar
4. Notice that the menu bar reflects the app's menus but does not show the app
