Apple responded to the problem with the "bangs" of the MacBook Pro

First users of the new 14 "and 16" MacBook Pro complain about the unavailability of some applications for the "bangs" for the camera in the screen. In particular, if the application has a lot of tabs with settings in the top panel, some of them are hidden in the blind zone of the notch. Lack of thought reaches the point of absurdity: even standard macOS icons - for example, "Battery", can be dragged into this zone.

There is another problem: if the application has too many tabs, but is adapted for new MacBooks, so that nothing did not climb into the notch area, these tabs can overlap the system icons located on the right side of the top strings.

Apple hasn't officially acknowledged this issue, but released See instructions for the function "Zoom to camera level". The corresponding checkbox can be enabled in the settings of all applications that do not open correctly. Then, when they are launched, the icons and tabs of the top line will be under the camera and nothing will be in the blind zone.

In this case, all the extra space that was freed up just thanks to the "bangs" will not be used - in fact, the screen will look the same as on old MacBooks.

This is positioned as a temporary solution for programs that have not yet been adapted for new laptops. When the developers release a version that works correctly with a notch for the camera, this checkbox will disappear from the settings.
