Why does Notchy disappear in full-screen apps?
“Hide in Full Screen” is on by default so full-screen video and games stay uncovered. While hidden, touch the top-center of the screen to slide Notchy open — like the menu bar. Change it in Settings → Behavior → Visibility.
Good to know
“Full-Screen Apps” narrows the rule to “Playing Media App” if you only want Notchy out of the way during video.
“Reveal on Hover” controls the touch-the-top behavior while hidden.
