Description:
Its a gimmicky app, sure, but a fun one thats worth checking out to get in a festive mood for the holidays.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Apples new MacBook Pro models arrived with gorgeous Mini-LED screens, but
the displays also carried something that proved more controversial the
notch, of course but haters of that feature might find this new app lightens their mood around the iPhone-style notch. Briefly. Maybe.

The free Notchmeister app, spotted by MacRumors , is essentially a fun and gimmicky piece of software which spruces up your notch with a choice of different effects.

That small selection includes a festive option, whereby when the mouse is moved under the notch, sparkly holiday lights drop down to fill your heart with cheer (or at least elicit a smile hopefully).

Other effects comprise of a Cylon setting with a red scanning light that sweeps across from side to side, but sticks to the cursor if its moved up to the notch, and a nifty looking plasma leak which represents the mouse
breaking down the magnetic containment field that keeps the M1s power in check. Analysis: Even no-notch MacBooks arent left out of the festive fun

This is an amusing and nicely tongue-in-cheek application made by The Iconfactory , and as pointed out by the readers of MacRumors, even those who have a MacBook without a notch can use the software.

How? With the Notch Simulation Mode which puts a mock notch (a black block)
at the top of the screen, which you can dangle your virtual festive lights from. This is a genuine replacement notch as the app calls it, though it doesnt interact with the mouse the same as with a new MacBook Pro .

Back in the real world, as to the notch debate, while there are still those who dislike it (or even detest it), weve observed something of a softening of mood around it. More folks seem to be talking about how the notch might take
a bit of initial acclimatization, but it becomes not really noticeable or an issue after youve had a little time with your new MacBook Pro. Check out all the best cheap MacBook Pro deals
