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

Yep |
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.

How to fix the icon "?" |
|
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 |
|
eth.sh or eth.py .. ??! |
|
The shebang (#!/usr/bin/env python3) indicates the path to the interpreter required. |
https://www.nerdfonts.com/cheat-sheet Search for "Eth", copy and paste the icon (not the utf-8). |

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:
#!/bin/bash
MIC_VOLUME=$(osascript -e 'input volume of (get volume settings)')
if [[ $MIC_VOLUME -eq 0 ]]; then
sketchybar -m --set mic icon=" $MIC_VOLUME"
elif [[ $MIC_VOLUME -eq 100 ]]; then
sketchybar -m --set mic icon=" $MIC_VOLUME"
else
osascript -e 'set volume input volume 100'
fi #!/bin/bash
MIC_VOLUME=$(osascript -e 'input volume of (get volume settings)')
if [[ $MIC_VOLUME -lt 100 ]]; then
osascript -e 'set volume input volume 100'
sketchybar -m --set mic icon=" $(osascript -e 'input volume of (get volume settings)')"

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.

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

In the new version this is very easy to achieve, see for example the default config: https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar/blob/master/sketchybarrc |
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")

(cursed) Hide MacOS Menu Bar and DockIn the past, I've been happy using "auto-hide" for the Apple menu bar and dock. Lately, the liquid glass updates in Tahoe have caused me to try and hide as much of the default MacOS look-and-feel as possible. That includes when my mouse gets too close to the edge of the screen and the menu bar or dock appear when I don't want them.

SketchyBar item for showing Cursor usage in the barIt displays a compact percentage, e.g. The item reads the signed-in Cursor desktop session from local app state, so it does not require copying browser cookies or storing tokens in config. It only caches derived display data. LayoutIn sketchybarrc
Optional config: Dependencies: jq, curl, sqlite3, Cursor desktop app signed in, and a Nerd Font for the icon. Code is herehttps://github.com/phonglk/dotfiles/tree/master/sketchybar/.config/sketchybar |
