Nightfall VS hidden

Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+T - toggle dark mode (requires nightfall)

MacOS pulled it for me

Replaced it with NightFall

There's a free open source app Nightfall that works great for manual switching.

I use Nightfall, and I'm really happy with it (it allows configuring a shortcut as well)

Nightfall is super nice, thanks for sharing

Nightfall is a super neat feature to speed up the flow!

NightFall: set a keyboard shortcut and a menu bar shortcut to quickly switch between light and dark mode

It's ultimately a really petty point - but this is not a fix. This increases the number of apps on the top bar before the problem occurs. Bartender (and hidden[1] - which I discovered in this thread) fix the problem. Calling a technique that delays the problem "a solution" after sneering at a project that actually is a solution just rubs me the wrong way.

There's Hidden Bar but I think it's a lot like Bartender. It has an arrow too if that's what you want.

Hidden is a great free and open-source alternative

Hidden Bar - hides menu bar icons

hidden bar is the best one from my experience and it’s open source!

Dozer (free - open source), HiddenBar (free), free alternatives to bartender, however, only does 1 thing and that's hiding the icons, not adding an extra menu, nothing just icons here, icons gone.

For apps that you never interact with that way, and won't let you turn their icons off, get HiddenBar.
