Window TitleDESCRIPTION: This will display the current window's title in your bar. If the window's title is greater than 50 characters it will truncate it, if there it no title available it will fall back to the application name. This was written by @FelixKratz and Modified by me. NOTE: Assuming you are using yabai, you can quickly check window titles and app names of the current window with Updated Configuration: sketchybarrc# E V E N T S
sketchybar -m --add event window_focus \
--add event title_change
# W I N D O W T I T L E
sketchybar -m --add item title left \

# W I N D O W T I T L E
WINDOW_TITLE=$(/opt/homebrew/bin/yabai -m query --windows --window | jq -r '.title')
if [[ $WINDOW_TITLE = "" ]]; then
WINDOW_TITLE=$(/opt/homebrew/bin/yabai -m query --windows --window | jq -r '.app')
fi
if [[ ${#WINDOW_TITLE} -gt 50 ]]; then
WINDOW_TITLE=$(echo "$WINDOW_TITLE" | cut -c 1-50)
sketchybar -m --set title label="│ $WINDOW_TITLE"…

OOOOOOOH I didn't think to animate the title change, that looks so sleek! |

I'm not sure if it would be of much help, but I posted a Lua version of this a week or two ago. I encountered the same issue as you with the window title remaining unchanged when switching to a space without any windows. To solve this, I use a shell script to execute the yabai command instead of executing it directly in window_title.sh. The script returns the yabai JSON output if available, otherwise 'empty' to sketchybar. If it's empty, I set the window title to Finder. |

Fixed, just subscribed to front_app_switched also. Update: It bugs out with fron_app_switched, with uncontrolled rapid execution of the script for some seconds. So it is not fixed ( |

You can also just query the old title before changing it, instead of storing the old title in a file.

Depending on what ICON font family he was using, you should replace it with one you have access to and make sure you update the icon font IE if you are using fontawesome pick an icon, copy it in place of the [] that shows in the file and update the icon font a la: Essentially just make sure you have access to whatever icon you choose to use |

Modified those slightly to counter the annoying behaviour on my michine where teams and other virtual meeting apps are constantly fiddling with input volume, even if i ask them not to. Changes from the original summed up to:

if [[ $MIC_VOLUME -eq 0 ]]; then
sketchybar -m --set mic icon=" $MIC_VOLUME"
elif [[ $MIC_VOLUME -eq 100 ]]; then

else
osascript -e 'set volume input volume 100'
fi #!/bin/bash
MIC_VOLUME=$(osascript -e 'input volume of (get volume settings)')
if [[ $MIC_VOLUME -lt 100 ]]; then
osascript -e 'set volume input volume 100'

Alternatively you could use: REMINDERS_COUNT=$(icalPal --norc tasksDueBefore --to +10 --iep title | wc -l)It's faster and it works even if the Reminders app is not running. Disclaimer: I'm the author of icalPal |

I did not realize, if I quit Reminders app, it will relaunch. And at boot, it will open the Reminders app. I already try using icalPal,.. and it works well, we should also trim any blank spaces or tabs character. REMINDERS_COUNT=$(icalPal --norc tasksDueBefore --to +1 --iep title | wc -l | tr -d "[:blank:]")Thanks @ajrosen, nice app! |

Made a quick edit to allow for custom icons as labels instead of text
Note: This plugin is the icon on the left. It is displaying that the current space is in BSP mode. The icon on the right is my Yabai Float plugin. sketchybarrc

You could make the calls much shorter by using the following (yabai then already only returns the current space... less work for jq): space_number=$(yabai -m query --spaces --space | jq -r .index)
yabai_mode=$(yabai -m query --spaces --space | jq -r .type) |

Interesting. I'm running yabai v3.3.10 and As far as the malformed UTF-8 string goes, does only the I've also made a minor update to my yabai_spaces.sh file. It cleans it up a little bit and also fixes a bug where the space would not have a number if it exceeded 15 (the number of static names included). With this update, if more than 15 spaces are found, space 16 and forward will use Arabic numerals to represent the space. NOTE: You'll have to make the yabai query change again if you take this version. yabai_spaces.sh#!/usr/bin/env bash

For some reason, the workspace icon does not change when I switch them via keyboard shortcuts, nor do the icon animations play when I change the workspace manually by mouse. Is there any specific information I can give you that would help you be able to help me out? I named my items file |

@brandonmercado-ops did you add a trigger to your aerospace config file? You need to tell aerospace that on workspace change it needs to trigger that subscription ^^ @manishprivet that would be a very helpful information to list here too |

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on the Spotify setup by @FelixKratz and made some tweaks that might be useful:
I hope these improvements help streamline the setup and make it more flexible! IMPORTANT: Big thanks again to Felix for the original template! :)

Nothing :D. Yes, i added it in the same place where I load all my other items. |

ok. i got i working now. But i think i broke some of the ui layout. anyway. Thanks for the help. I fixed it by changing the case "forced" in the plugin to "update" and not "exit 0". I had some called with it, dont know why. |

For some reason the background of my popup is transparent. Do you happen to know what I need to change for it to not be? |

Is this still working with a recent SB / aerospace (Tahoe and latest HEAD versions)? I see no highlights for full/empty or active when switching workspaces. |

Check for SecureInput being EnabledDisplays a warning alert if SecureInput is Enabled, which disables/overtakes global hotkey use. Main use would be for AeroSpace users, as if this is enabled, many hotkeys won't work (to move windows, spaces, or change focus). The alert displays the PID as well so that you can determine what app is causing it and you can decide if you want to close that app right away or deal with it until you are done with that app. sketchybarrcsecure_input.sh |

Not sure why, but the clickable front app didn't work on my machine, I would click and nothing came up, and then a while later it would open. |

@dibstern Hmm. I don't think I changed anything with that one. Possibly a permissions thing? I forget if that one requires it, but I could see a scenario where you even granted perms and then it doesn't work until it reloads/re-renders/etc.. |

Just a fun little plugin that displays the battery status in a "N64 Zelda" style. the heart containers have 5 states: 0/4, 1/4, 2/4, 3/4 and 4/4, And if the battery is charging, the borders switch from black to white ( like when you have "Enhanced Defense" in-game ). Clicking the bar or hearts displays a little popup menu with actual % and estimated time to fully charged or depleted. Right now im using 3 hearts for the display, but the code Should be able to handle N amounts, but i haven't spent any real time testing it. The code is rough, and im sure there are better solutions out there, especially regarding the images themselves, so any input is welcome:) Battery powered Running on battery 3/4 heart example 1/4 heart example popup menu Requires: SbarLua Pngs for the hearts: Mine CodeCode local colors = require("colors")

Aerospace with App Icon using pure shell script
Based on @bin101 lua script. As I don't want to install lua extension, I rewrite the plugin in shell script. Kudos to the original author's idea.

Just discovered this project and I am really enjoying it. I'm Muslim and so keeping up to date on my prayers (5 times a day) is important to me. So I created this little plugin to help tell me when the next one starts. https://github.com/heyitsaamir/SketchySalatTime
