Hidden Bar it’ll stop hiding your icons, but your menu bar items will remain arranged in the order you set.
Menu bar items are really handy things, but over time you can end up with far too many of them.
And while macOS 14 (Sonoma) and macOS 15 (Sequoia) make good use of Control Centre to reduce the number of things living in the top of your Mac’s display, the menu bar can still get messy.
