Installation and Configuration Instructions

  1. Download the yabai.1d.sh file and drop into the Bitbar plugin folder.
  2. (optional)Set UTF encoding for your language. By default this plugin should support english and spanish. Please open an issue if you have problems with other languages.
  3. Ensure that the location of your .yabairc, .shkdrc, and yabai plugin file are accurately reflected in the if statements at the top of the document.
  4. Set $COMPACT to TRUE or FALSE
  5. Set $COLOR and $DEFAULT
  6. Set bookend icons, divider icons, and selected icons.
  7. Set font and size
  8. Set Spaces to Arabic numerals, written numbers, roman numbers, emojis, circled, inverted, or unicode icons.
  9. Set up Yabai and SKHD integrations

By default the plugin runs once a day, if you don't want to implement the Yabai integration, you can rename it to yabai.1s.sh to have it run once every second or yabai.2e-2s.sh to have it run 5x/second to get the space configuration more quickly. This is still slower than the Yabai integration and increases cpu usage quite a bit (in my testing, this pinned the fans at 100% and still increased CPU temps by 20 degrees.) This configuration is supported but obviously not recommended.
