## GLMakie does not show Figure or crashes on full screen mode on macOS

MacOS gives a warning if a graphical user interface (GUI) is not started from an AppBundle and this exception can crash the Julia process that initiated the GUI.
This warning only occurs if macOS Settings->Desktop & Dock->Menu Bar->Automatically hide and show the menu bar is not set to Never.
Therefore make sure this setting is set to `Never` to enable the use of GLMakie on macOS.
