macOS 27 Preview build 2 — Release Notes

Fixed

  • Thaw's own menu bar icon now fully works with macOS 27's reorder, hide, and layout system — it can be dragged in Layout settings, persists in saved order, stays visible correctly when sections conceal, and the background pill now wraps around it instead of leaving it outside.
  • Fixed a cursor-thrashing infinite loop caused by retrying unachievable item moves (e.g. forced beside anchored system items like Sound) every ~2s.
  • Restored hover-to-reveal and click handling, which had stopped working.
  • Fixed disappearing icon images for concealed/hidden items caused by an overly aggressive cache cleanup.
  • Fixed duplicate menu bar items appearing when an app's live AX title metrics changed.
  • Fixed split-pill background positioning on multi-display setups.

Edit:
It should say macOS 27 - Unsupported preview in the about page.
