💻 Forehead - Hide the Notch and round the corners

Apple announced the new MacBook Pro yesterday, and I can't wait to receive mine next week. I saw some people complain about the notch (I like it but tastes differ), so I made a little utility that makes the menu bar black so the Notch fades away in the background.
The app takes your wallpaper and modifies it to add a black bar at the top. It also allows you to round the corners of your screen if you're into that look!
Features
- Switch between your default wallpaper and a notchless one
- Round the corners of your entire screen (similar to the rounded top corners on the new Macs)
- Choose to start the rounding below the menu bar
- Works on Monterey
