I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing freezing issues with the topbar in fullscreen mode on macOS Tahoe.
Based on my knowledge, other software running in the background on macOS can sometimes interfere with Spine. For example, screen mirroring software or Finder "enhancements" like Default Folder X can prevent Spine from running smoothly. Additionally, software like Rescue Time may need to be closed when Spine is started.
Here are some steps you can try:
Check for conflicting software - Try closing any background applications, especially:
- Screen recording or mirroring software
- Finder enhancement tools
- Time tracking applications
- Any other utilities that interact with the macOS interface
Check the spine.log file - The log file may contain error information. You can find it at:
~/Library/Application Support/Spine/spine.log
Run Spine from Terminal - This can help identify startup issues:
- Open Terminal and type:
/Applications/Spine/Spine.app/Contents/MacOS/Spine
- Or use the Console app, choose "All Messages", then start Spine and watch for any errors
Check antivirus/security software - Some security software can interfere with Spine's operation. Make sure Spine's folders are safelisted:
/Applications/Spine/
~/Library/Application Support/Spine/
If the issue persists after trying these steps, the spine.log file would be helpful in diagnosing the problem further.
