We encounter a strange behavior in our macOS 26.3 configuration (Hardware: MBP M3 + LG external 5k monitor): When we have BTT active defined an image wallpaper and lock the screen with the touch id button or other means a black bar appears on the top of the image - possibly to hide the notch. This happens also when the LG monitor is the only display in clamshell mode. We could not find any way to prevent this except quitting BTT before locking the screen.
Is there a way to disable the depreciated Notch Bar support completely?
You can either remove any Notch Bar configuration items you have to auto-disable it or manually disable it here:
(with this checked, no part of the Notch Bar code will be loaded, if your issue still occurs with this disabled it is not caused by the Notch Bar. You might need to restart BTT after disabling it though.)
I did this already. I still displays a black bar on top of the lock screen…
Maybe some floating menu you have configured? (Although I'm not sure whether they could show on lock screen)
We disabled parts of our logic. It looks like when resize windows with “Focused Window Did Change” we also grep the Screen saver window and take the menu bar size into account…
Is there a way to find out the name or some other specifics so we are able to disable our logic for the login screen window?
Have you tried to restart your Mac?
What happens if you right-click the black bar?
Currently we got rid of the black bar. It might be an interaction with Bartender 6 and their way to give colored menu bars. I will investigate further the next days and post the results…
