Please let me deactivate the Hub menu bar icon on macOS (894824)

following up on this feedback thread that was closed apparently: Please let me deactivate the Hub menu bar icon on macOS (762898)

please add an option to remove the hub icon from the Mac OS menu bar.
they’ve since added an option “Hide the Hub to macOS menu bar when Unity Editor opens”, which is an awkward half-measure. why not just give the option to remove it from the menu bar completely?

Seconded. Also, I feel it odd that a thread was closed when clearly so many people want that feature (or absence of feature really: not adding unity into the menubar…), and that absence of feature hasnt been provided yet.

Definiely agreed! It’s already taking space in the dock, it shouldn’t be taking my precious space in the menu bar. I don’t want to see it there, all the time, acting oh so important.

+1

They need to choose only 1, dock or menu bar, I wouldn’t mind the menu bar if it could get out of my dock

I would love to see it

2025 and still waiting

2026 and still waiting.

a menu icon is fine for those who want it, but i have never touched it once. its just visual clutter for menubar entries i DO use. i cannot for the life of me see why they cannot just add an option. they never even fixed the self admitted ‘bug’ that it also shows in the dock all the time. SEVEN YEARS.

I completely understand the frustration and would like to apologize to you all who have been waiting so long for a response to this. This is a very reasonable ask. I’ll bring this to the team and see if we can get a solution in place in one of the upcoming Hub releases.

I’ll post again here when I have some updates.

@slsteve and others who have waited: The setting to hide the menu bar icon for macOS is now available for testing in the 3.18 beta.

Thanks for your patience!
