Show menu bar on multiple screens without separate spaces

menu barspaces

I have two screens. I want:

  • Windows to be able to span multiple screens
  • A menu bar on both screens

Is that too much to ask? There is an option that affects both of these: "Displays have separate Spaces". With it on you get two menu bars but windows cannot span multiple screens. With it off you they can but you only get one menu bar. Is there a solution to this madness?

In short, no.

The menu either belongs to your primary screen, or if you have 'Displays have separate Spaces' on, then to the one currently active.

If you have different Spaces on different screens, there is no logic to control any window being able to span the two. What would happen if you changed Space on only one of them?

There is no third option, as far as I'm aware, even with 3rd party software.
