- This is a bit annoying if you
- - have multiple displays with different background images and thus get different font colours
- - use some menu bar apps which won't adapt to the font colour
- - automatically cycle through different background images
- How can I avoid this behaviour?

Avoid font colour change in macOS 11 menu bar
In macOS 11 the font colour of the menu bar automatically adapts to the darkness of the background image. On a light background it will show the text in black and on a dark background it will show white text. This is a bit annoying if you - have multiple displays with different background images and thus get different font colours - use some menu bar apps which won't adapt to the font colour - automatically cycle through different background images How can I avoid this behaviour?
