Yabai: Spacebar - status bar for yabai

[somdoron]

I forked yabai and removed anything which isn't bar related (almost everything), the project is here:

https://github.com/somdoron/spacebar

The status bar supports multiple displays.

hmmm I wonder if spacebar will be the catalyst to my finally upgrading to Catlina. 🤔

[somdoron]

I think it will work on previous versions of osx, I didn't test it though

[johnallen3d]

==> Installing spacebar from somdoron/formulae
spacebar: macOS Catalina or newer is required.
Error: An unsatisfied requirement failed this build.

[somdoron]

Which version are you using? I will fix it

[johnallen3d]

Thanks for checking! Still on Mojave (10.14.6).

[somdoron]

I think it should work now, try again

[johnallen3d]

🎉 That did it! Thanks for this @somdoron! So happy to have a bar on both monitors (w/o resorting to resource intensive Ubersicht.

[nwaywood]

That is awesome @somdoron, thank you!

Is there any chance you are open to adding some other basic features? Such as displaying the date?

[johnallen3d]

haha great minds think alike @nwaywood?! https://github.com/somdoron/spacebar/issues/1

[somdoron]

added clock format configuration

Just a heads up if you have not seen my comment here: https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/pull/316#issuecomment-579279827

I would recommend to start entirely from scratch, but using snippets from whatever is in the yabai status bar is fine if you think it is appropriate.

[somdoron]

I agree, but I had to start some where. Coming from linux (and i3) I don't have much experience with OSX API. I guess the main thing that will stay from yabai is the events and event loop. I will work on a more modular bar blocks.

@somdoron @koekeishiya
I think you are aware of the following already, but I'd just like to ask if there's already a solution to this, that I didn't see, yet.
When using yabai -m space --toggle gap yabai turns off the space's outer padding and the new spacebar is then of course. If there's no solution, yet, shall I create the issue in yabai or spacebar project?

On a side note: @koekeishiya could it be, that the toggles for padding and gap are mixed up? because toggling padding removes the yabairc defined window_gap and vice versa.

[koekeishiya]

Toggling of padding and gap is working fine for me, they are not switched.
There is currently no way to make external bars properly cooperate with the toggle padding command, see my latest comment in #454

[somdoron]

As @koekeishiya suggested, for spacebar case simple custom_bar_offset_top will do.

Question: Why can't see the battery or clock icons? (not working for yabai status bar or spacebar) I installed the 3 Free Desktop OTF's from Font Awesome but I still can't view the symbols. I'm not sure how else I'm supposed to get them to display.

See discussion in #110 about Font Book.app.

This is great, thank you! I even ran spacebar by itself without yabai over the weekend while I was working through some performance issues with yabai. I love that it still works with native OSX spaces (much better than anything apple offers out of the box).

One note that I installed 'Font Awesome' via a github repo (not the FontBook app), so my config works with the "out of the box" config that yabai uses:

spacebar -m config status_bar_icon_font "FontAwesome:Regular:11.0"

Hello, sorry to reopen the thread, but I am getting an error in the config. I get "unknown command 'text_font' for domain 'config' ". Does anybody know how to solve it?

[somdoron]

Yes, try to install directly from github. I need to release a new version.
For the current version you can also prefix all options with status_bar_.

Yes, that solves it and it works fine, now the issue seems to be that it doesn't read the .spacebarrc file. For applying config I must input line by line in the terminal. Is that somehow related to the version?

Nvm, I messed the directory. It works perfectly. Thanks!
Actually, the icons are not loading, any idea how to fix that?
3rd edit, I got the icons. the example in the GitHub page didn't work for me. Instead of Font Awesome 5 Free, I had to put just FontAwesome

[koekeishiya]

Closing this as this issue seems to have served its purpose.

For anyone looking here, try this. It worked fine for me
