[PConline application] Although the performance of Apple's new MacBook Pro is very strong, the M1 Pro, M1 Max chips make people feel awe at Apple's hardware research and development capabilities, but the new MacBook Pro can not make everyone like it - at least the grinning bangs, it is too appetizing!
The MacBook Pro's bangs are really dramatic
The new MacBook Pro uses a very high-quality screen, but at the top of the screen, Apple unceremoniously placed a big bang. According to the width of the MacBook Pro's border, even if you don't use bangs, you can completely put down the camera, why is the MacBook Pro so obsessed with bangs design? Could it be just to be on par with the iPhone? Whatever the reason, this is hard to accept.
What's even more devastating is that the MacBook Pro's bangs are not only ugly, it also really affects the use! macOS has not made any optimizations for this bang, and the bangs on the screen will actually cover the content displayed on the screen! Move the mouse to the bangs, and you can find that the bangs can cover the mouse.
Although the location of the MacBook Pro bangs is the menu bar of macOS, the general software will not have enough menu options to let the bangs obscure the content, but the menu bar of macOS also takes into account the function of information display, such as users can use some tools to display the CPU, network and other operating status on it. At this time, the bangs often obscure the information, which can be said to be quite obstructive.
MacBook Pro bangs design is too anti-human, what to do? We may need the "Bangs Completion Program" widget.
As the name suggests, this is a gadget designed to save macBook Pro bangs. Its use is very simple, after downloading, you can unzip and run. According to the author in v2ex (original address), for unknown reasons, the Apple Store refused to be listed on the shelves on the grounds that it did not conform to human-computer interaction ...
This tool can make the content under the bangs pop up
After running the Bangs Completion Plan, as long as you move the mouse under the bangs, the content covered by the bangs will automatically pop out, and the effect is like the GIF below.
There is no doubt that for friends who like to put a bunch of gadgets in the macOS menu bar, this is simply a must-have on the MacBook Pro!
This bangs completion plan, although small in size and simple in function, can be called a weapon to save the majority of bangs victimized users and the gods in water and fire, I don't know why Apple thinks it does not meet human-computer interaction? Or does Apple think that the current bangs are a good form of human-computer interaction? Anyway, if you're also bothered by the MacBook Pro's bangs obscuring the content, give it a try.
