Styling

Make your menu bar your own, with menu bar styling you can:

  • add a color or gradient tint to your menu bar.
  • Create a rounded/pill shaped menu bar, even with separate sides for the App menu and menu bar items.
  • Add a border and choose its color and thickness.
  • Add a shadow to your menu bar.
  • Add rounded corners to your display, or a black area under the rounded menu bar.
The possibilities are endless.

Styles are applied to an individual menu bar allowing you to create many different styles and quickly recognise your current space.

Groups

Combine multiple menu bar items into one customisable menu bar item, and have quick access to all the menu bar items within.

For example group all your cloud drive apps together like Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive.
Have a group for connection related items such as Wi-Fi and VPN.
And another for media related items, like volume, media controls, airplay.
