nibar's Introduction

nibar

Simple Übersicht widget status bar with yabai support.

Originally forked from https://github.com/ajdnik/powerbar. I made it work with yabai and tweaked the aesthetics to match my preference.

Installation

Clone this repo to your Übersicht widgets directory.

$ git clone https://github.com/kkga/nibar $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Übersicht/widgets/nibar

Dependencies

jq — used for parsing json output and displaying the workspaces widget
- install with homebrew: brew install jq
SF Fonts (optional) — used for symbols in the statusbar widget

Usage

Yabai workspaces widgets

There are 2 widgets for displaying workspaces: spaces-primary and spaces-secondary. The spaces-secondary is used when working with dual displays. If you're using a single display, disable it in the Übersicht's menu.

Refreshing yabai workspaces widget

The widgets for displaying yabai workspaces aren't refreshing automatically (to preserve battery). To refresh them, you can add these lines utilizing yabai's signals at the end of .yabairc:

When using a single display

yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"nibar-spaces-primary-jsx\"'"

When using dual displays

yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"nibar-spaces-primary-jsx\"'"
yabai -m signal --add event=display_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"nibar-spaces-primary-jsx\"'"

yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"nibar-spaces-secondary-jsx\"'"
yabai -m signal --add event=display_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"nibar-spaces-secondary-jsx\"'"
