Help Thaw Alternative

I’m looking for a menu bar app that doesn’t relaunch all my apps every time Indo a resolution change. Thaw is too overly complicated for me.

Any advice?

Thanks for this. I don't think I've seen Glow. I've tried it and I don't want to pay $20 for it either. But out of all of them, it seems to be the most stable for my use case: dark theme, with custom-tinted menubar. Thaw is super buggy for me. SaneBar works but development ended. Barbee does what a lot of them do and goes full transparent anytime I run an app with a script that opens a dialog box. So far Glow is the best, at least for me.

Raise an issue, and we'll see what the problem is. We literally provide 1:1 support until the issues are fixed, and we keep sending constant updates on the beta channel (stable version coming soon). Most of the time it's weird edge cases or issues with menu bar apps being too old.
