# yabai-uberbar
Personal [Übersicht](http://tracesof.net/uebersicht/) bar with graphic overview of windows on each space for use with [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai).
_Disclaimers:_
- This has only been tested on my personal machine
- Numerous values (especially script paths) are hardcoded and will likely require manual
tweaking to work on your system

## Installation
**Install dependencies**
```bash
brew install dash jq yabai skhd node
brew cask install ubersicht
```
**Clone the widget to your Übersicht widget directory**
```bash
# The default Übersicht widget directory:
WIDGET_DIR="$HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Übersicht/widgets/yabai-uberbar.widget"
git clone https://github.com/AdamWagner/yabai-uberbar.git "$WIDGET_DIR"
```
**Configure yabai**
Use [yabai signals](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai/wiki/Commands#automation-with-rules-and-signals) to refresh Übersicht when you change space or create, destroy, move, or resize windows:
Add the following to your `.yabairc` file:
```bash
yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action="uber-bar-refresh"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_created action="uber-bar-refresh"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_destroyed action="uber-bar-refresh"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_moved action="uber-bar-refresh"
yabai -m signal --add event=window_resized action="uber-bar-refresh"
yabai -m signal --add event=bar_refresh action="uber-bar-refresh"
```
An example implementation of [uber-bar-refresh](https://github.com/AdamWagner/yabai-uberbar/blob/master/refresh) via Applescript is included.
## Enhancements / Fixes
- Flesh out "zoomed window indicator" POC
- Improve visibility of space index number against window edges
- Faster performance. Consider [React-nodegui](https://react.nodegui.org/)?
- Indicate active window
- Indicate application running in active window
- Multi-monitor support
- Add time, date, battery, wifi, etc. See [/qhuyduong/yabai-status-bar](https://github.com/qhuyduong/yabai-status-bar/blob/master/scripts/right_bar.sh).
