Menubar applets don't disappear during full-screen intro movie playback

jamie

Steps to reproduce:
Launch the new Orion public beta release and affirm that burning desire to see the snazzy new intro movie. 🤩

Expected behavior:
Intro movie should playback without any menubar applets in the upper-right menubar area.

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Version 0.99.115-beta (WebKit 614.1.12), macOS Monterey 12.4 (21F79), MacBookPro15,2

jamie What do you mean by menu bar applets?

Vlad My apologies--I suppose the HEIC image I attached for description didn't come along for the ride, so I'll add it as a plain ol' .jpg instead. Notice the aesthetic intrusion of Parallels Desktop, iStat Menus, and other resident software in the upper right corner.

Please excuse the hasty photography of the quite literal screenshot. I was admiring the intro and planning a feedback report simultaneously...much too busy to remember appropriate key combinations, you see. 🙂

Vlad

jamie No worries. I wonder if there is anything specific there that causes it because I can not reproduce with my near default menu bar.

Vlad Could be. The third-party applets in the screenshot are (from left to right):

Parallels Desktop

OneDrive
iStat Menus (CPU & RAM thermometers, SSD/LAN throughput, Battery, and Calendar widgets)

Is there a way to trigger intro movie playback again after first launch? I can experiment to see which of these might be the culprit.

Vlad

jamie Yes but it would involve resetting Orion
