External displays

Show the notch on a display that doesn't have one.

Most displays don’t have a notch, so Warble can draw one of its own at the top centre of the screen. It works the same way as the real one: hover over it or click it to open it.

What happens by default

• On a MacBook with a notch, Warble uses the notch while the lid is open. When you close the lid and use an external display, the notch moves to the display that has the menu bar.
• On a Mac without a notch, such as a Mac mini or an older MacBook Air, Warble draws one on the display that has the menu bar.

Other displays don’t show a notch until you choose to show one.

Choose where the notch shows

1. Click the Warble icon in the menu bar.
2. Choose Notch on Displays, then the display you want to change.
3. Choose one of these:
   • Always shows a notch on that display all the time, as well as the one on your MacBook.
   • When There’s No Notch shows it only when your MacBook’s lid is closed, or if your Mac doesn’t have a notch.
   • Off never shows a notch on that display.

The change takes effect straight away. Warble remembers each display, so the setting comes back when you plug that display in again.

Full-screen apps

When an app is full screen, it has the whole display to itself, so the notch on that display hides until you leave full screen.
