Icons not shown

[caballerofelipe]

Describe the bug

When using Hidden Bar, some icons aren't shown. After quitting Hidden Bar they're shown again.

It appears that the Menu Bar has a maximum length for icons or something, it might be a configuration that I haven't been able to find. Apparently the space before (on the right) of Hidden Bar also counts as icon count.

Steps to reproduce

Open a bunch of apps that appear on the menu bar. After a given number, new icons aren't shown.

Expected behaviour

I would like to add as many icons as I want.

I believe I am having this same issue. I am also on macOS 12.6 and Hidden Bar 1.9.

Same for me. macOS 13.0, Hidden bar 1.8 from app store and 1.9 from github releases.

The new app always adds at the left of the Menu. If there is no spacing left, it automatically hides.
The way Hidden Bar work is to create a very long tranparent icon to put everything to the left. Every new icon added by opening a new app after that will be hidden because it automatically adds to the left of the menu bar.
When you close the HiddenBar, you make some space, that is the reason why you can see your icons.

This is the same root cause as the icon-order cluster (#334 and the MANUAL FAQ): macOS inserts a new or relaunched app's status item at the far-left slot, which is inside Hidden Bar's hidden zone, and there is no public API for one app to reposition another app's menu-bar icon. Workaround today: ⌘-drag the icon to the right of the separator once (macOS remembers it per app). A built-in fix is being scoped as part of the menu-bar redesign (#357 #358 #350). Relabeling to icon-order and leaving this open, linked to that effort.
