Yabai: external_bar only works in config when set before padding

Created on 17 Jul 2020  路  2Comments  路  Source: koekeishiya/yabai

Took me a few minutes to figure out that the external_bar setting needs to be set before top_padding, bottom_padding, etc. in yabairc. So something like this works as expected:

yabai -m config external_bar                 all:0:26
yabai -m config top_padding                  5
yabai -m config bottom_padding               5
yabai -m config left_padding                 5
yabai -m config right_padding                5

But something like this won't respect the external_bar setting until after toggling the padding on and off (e.g., with yabai -m space --toggle padding):

yabai -m config top_padding                  5
yabai -m config bottom_padding               5
yabai -m config left_padding                 5
yabai -m config right_padding                5
yabai -m config external_bar                 all:0:26

That is not intentional and I don't immediately remember why this would be the case. Sounds more like a bug rather than an anomaly that has to be documented.

Fixed on master.
