What’s new

Every version of ProMax Display, newest first.

Version 0.1.0

Not released yet

The first version of ProMax Display: full screen that uses the whole display on a MacBook with a notch.

Highlights

  • Apps’ own settings. Switches on the notch-row setting in VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Ghostty, kitty, mpv and MacVim, with undo, and guides you through iTerm2, WezTerm, Alacritty and Neovide.
  • Games. Opens SDL games with full screen reaching the notch row, plus a Steam launch option to copy.
  • Every app. A one-time setup lets full screen fill the notch row in every app, with an Excluded Apps list for any you’d rather leave. The rear-view mirror, the menu bar beside the notch and Corners (all below) come with it.
  • Rear-view mirror. Point into the notch to see what the notch hides, live, just below it.
  • Menu bar beside the notch. The top edge beside the notch brings the menu bar down. Inside the notch, it doesn’t.
  • Trackpad gestures. Swipe in from the edges for the Dock, menu bar and Control Center.
  • Dock app switcher. With the Dock out, swipe up again and slide to choose an app. Pull up to switch to it. Settings (off at first) let you step through the chosen app’s windows too, or pull down to quit it.
  • Menus and Control Center from the trackpad. With the menu bar down, swipe down again and slide to a menu item. With Control Center open, slide sideways to set the brightness or the volume. A light tap on the trackpad as you move between items.
  • Pinch to fill video. Pinch out on a full screen video and it fills the whole screen, notch row included. Built in for QuickTime Player and apps that use Apple’s video player (with macOS in English, for now; not the TV app); Safari, Chrome, Arc, Dia, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Chromium and Firefox use the free ProMax Display extension.
  • Try the gestures. A trackpad playground in the welcome and on the Gestures page, with a checklist that ticks off each gesture as you do it.
  • Corners. Full screen apps keep the display’s rounded corners as you swipe between them.
  • Updates and licence. Automatic updates, and a Licence page to activate and move your licence.
