Bartender

Bartender 5.0.49
New Features
Image comparison triggers (formally show for update image comparisons) are back
With macOS 14.1 Apple implemented changes I requested so I could recreate this feature without macOS showing the screen capture purple menu bar item.
Any previous image comparison show for updates from Bartender 4 should automatically be converted into triggers for you.
Re-added the ability to leave menu bar items to the right of the Bartender menu bar item
This feature will keep any items to the right of the Bartender menu bar item always visible, even when Bartender swaps out your shown items for your hidden ones.
Re-added the ability to always or never swap out shown items for hidden items
This was previously done automatically, only when there wasn't enough room to show your items unless swapped, now you can choose to keep it automatically, or never do this, or always do it.
Bug Fixes
macOS music recognition (Shazam) menu bar item cannot be hidden
Apple have made the music recognition (Shazam) menu bar item a special menu bar item, that demands to be visible and cannot be hidden. Bartender now respects this.
Image comparison triggers firing for certain color changes
There was a bug in Bartender, that would mean icons that just changed colors a certain amount would not fire the image trigger condition. This has been fixed.
Image comparison triggers not getting checked when icon had transparent center
There was a bug in Bartender, that would stop it checking icons with transparent centers sometimes (it thought they were blank icons). This has been fixed.
Proton VPN popup showing when it shouldn't
Looking at the opensource code for Proton VPN I saw they already had a specific compatibility fix for Bartender, this did not work with Bartender 5, I have changed Bartender 5 so this compatibility fix can work again. Big thanks to the Proton Devs.
Menu bar style not applying correctly on some none english language systems
