How to keep your Mac’s Menu Bar in view while in Full Screen mode
Do you enjoy using Full Screen Mode on your Mac but wish you could still see (and use) the Menu Bar?
Well, you can. All it takes is a simple settings change. Here’s how to set it up:
1 – Select the Apple icon from the top Menu Bar.
2 – Click System Preferences.
3 – Click Dock & Menu Bar in the left-hand pane, then click the Dock & Menu Bar icon in the right-hand pane.
4 – Uncheck the box beside “Automatically hide and show the menu bar in full screen”.
That’s all there is to it. From now on you’ll be able to see (and use) your Mac’s Menu Bar even when you’re using an app in Full Screen mode.
