From your Mac, you can customize this part of the screen to see it larger or smaller, without having to hide it.

Computer screens are getting bigger and bigger, making it easier to work with them. However, this impairs the vision of the texts and the rest of the elements. On macOS, you can resize menu bar to your liking so as not to lose sight when seeing the letters.

These are small tweaks in the accessibility aspect that Apple keeps between operating systems. It is normal that you do not see them, since it takes a lot of searching or be ing a very advanced user of macOS to know this option. It is very easy to change so anyone can do it. From your Mac, you can customize this part of the screen to make it bigger or smaller, without having to hide the icons on the Mac.

What’s in the menu bar

It is an advantage that you can change the size of the bar, especially if you don’t see the icons easily and you have to make them bigger. You can also set an option to automatically hide the menu bar and show it only when you move the pointer up on the screen. However, just like making the size larger, you can make it smaller so that it doesn’t get in the way or occupy you as much on the screen.

It is an alternative to fight against the space occupied by the notch on the screen of the MacBook and thus avoid hiding it. Please note that this setting is only available from mac OS Big Sur version.
