Reveal items: Hidden items can be revealed with a click, hotkey, or by hovering over the edge.
Ice Bar: Ice Bar moves hidden items into a separate bar that appears on demand.
Layout editor: On macOS 27, users can drag apps into Visible, Hidden, or Always-Hidden sections, and changes save as they are made.
macOS 27 limits: On macOS 27, the separate Ice Bar, searching for a single menu bar icon, and temporarily showing one icon are unavailable.
