Display the menu bar where the mouse is when Thaw is called up with a keyboard shortcut.

Dear Dev Team,

Could you please consider the following feature:

Display the menu bar where the mouse is when Thaw is called up with a keyboard shortcut.

I just discovered Thaw through Ice (source: MacGeneration), and this option would be a plus in my use of Mac and Thaw.

Regards,
André,

Like so, I assume

Hi Toni, Nice. The menu bar appears exactly where the cursor is located. But when I click on an icon, the menu for that icon appears in the top menu bar. I don't know if it's possible to display this menu where the mouse is located … Perhaps a MacOS limitation?

That's a macOS limitation, menu icons can only be opened in the menu bar. The Thaw Bar is basically just a container that holds images of the menu bar icons and when you click on them, they need to be revealed in the menu bar.

Damned 😂 Thank you for you quick reaction. Between Bartender, Ice and Thaw, my preference goes to your app. Bartender is a little bit buggy, and Ice … a good starting point for Thaw 😉 Sincères salutations | Met vriendelijke groeten | Kind regards André Staquet, Hericius Consulting SRL | ISO27001 Lead Implementer | Risk, Information Security and Compliance | Founder & Consultant | M. +32 479 98 31 27<tel:+32%20479%2098%2031%2027> From: Toni Förster ***@***.***> Date: Monday, 23 February 2026 at 08:22 To: stonerl/Thaw ***@***.***> Cc: Andre Staquet (Hericius Consulting) ***@***.***>, Author ***@***.***> Subject: Re: [stonerl/Thaw] Display the menu bar where the mouse is when Thaw is called up with a keyboard shortcut.
