Hide all screens bars

[asoymos]

Hi. I have

@hook.subscribe.startup
def run_every_startup():
    qtile.hide_show_bar()

but it only work in current screen, is there a way to hide the bars from both screens at startup? Thank you.

https://docs.qtile.org/en/stable/manual/install/index.html#installing-from-source should help; check out a branch, apply that patch, install it, and see if it works.

Well, don't know if it's enough but I just manually patched my libqtile/core/manager.py file with those lines. Upon reboot same behavior as before, only bar from one monitor hidden. I have this in log:

only self.conn.flush() error was there before sometimes.

Correction (not native english speaker), upon specifing parameters (I though it was default) qtile.hide_show_bar() > qtile.hide_show_bar('all', 'all') the above patch works.
