Maybe someone on here can help me out, and it is hard to explain (in my head anyway).

Had to get a new Macbook, and got Lightroom Classic loaded.

When viewing LR on the Macbook Pro screen, LR itself takes up LESS space on the Macbook.

Like, when you view Finder or Chrome (or anything) and that application is in the upper left corner, the upper left of the menubar (where the apple icon is) has a radius when you view it. There is a nice 1/4 inch or so space all around the viewable screen from the bezel...

However, when inside LR, the screen is actually about 1/4" to 3/8" smaller than all others apps. There is no radius around the menubar (where apple icon is). The screen shrinks in and the corners are square. It is that way in LR's Window - Normal or Window - Full Screen w/ Menubar, etc.

How do you make Lightroom larger on screen, like scaling, without losing the menubar, etc?
 
Here are snaps of the left corner of the Macbook to help visualize...

Chrome - with radius, close to edge

Finder - with radius, close to edge

Lightroom - Shrunk and no radius, farther from screen edge...

I have a 16" M2 Pro MBP and LrC 12.5 running now on it. I have the LrC window in Zoom position (hold the option key and click on the green circle icon and choose Zoom). My LrC looks like your Chrome and Finder photos, not like your LrC photo.
