Installation

Clone this repo to your Übersicht widgets directory with the following command.

$ git clone git@github.com:Jean-Tinland/simple-bar.git $HOME/Library/Application\ Support/Übersicht/widgets/simple-bar

Font

I'm using JetBrains Mono as main font and device default monospaced font as fallback.

Usage

After cloning the project, simply activate all three "simple-bar" widgets in Übersicht's widgets list.

simple-bar-process-jsx
simple-bar-spaces-jsx
simple-bar-data-jsx

Clickable elements

The spaces and wifi elements in simple-bar-spaces-jsx and simple-bar-data-jsx are clickable. If you have an interaction shortcut enabled (Übersicht > Preferences), you can click the wifi element to toggle wifi on/off or on the spaces to go directly to a specific space. The "Add space" button will only be shown if you have disabled SIP

Customization

If you want to customize the colors or fonts used you can simply edit the simple-bar > lib > styles > Theme.js and put your settings in it.

export const Theme = {
  main: '#1B222D',
  minor: '#39465E',
  accent: '#FFD484',
  red: '#E78482',
  green: '#8FC8BB',
  yellow: '#FFD484',
  blue: '#6DB3CE',
  magenta: '#AD82CB',
  cyan: '#7EDDDE',
  font: 'JetBrains Mono, monospace',
  easing: 'cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1)'
}

Pywal

To use pywal colors instead, run the pywal-gen.sh script in simple-bar > lib > styles, then edit simple-bar > lib > styles > Theme.js to use ThemePywal.js instead. This should be done after running pywal.

Icons

Now to add new icons you'll need to get a .svg with a 0 0 24 24 viewBox. Then you can simply add it to the simple-bar > lib > components > Icons.jsx :

export const Caprine = (props) => (
  <Icon {...props}>
    <path d="M12 0C5.37 0 0 4.97 0 11.11c0 3.5 1.74 6.62 4.47 8.65V24l4.09-2.24c1.09.3 2.24.46 3.44.46 6.63 0 12-4.97 12-11.1C24 4.97 18.63 0 12 0zm1.2 14.96l-3.06-3.26-5.97 3.26L10.73 8l3.13 3.26L19.76 8l-6.57 6.96z" />
  </Icon>
)

To link it to a process you'll need to get the Yabai process name and make the association in simple-bar > lib > data.js :

import {
  AndroidMessages,
  Caprine,
  Code,
  Default,
  Figma,
  GoogleChrome,
  Music,
  SequelPro,
  Skype,
  Slack,
  Zeplin
} from './components/Icons.jsx'

export const appIcons = {
  'Android Messages': AndroidMessages,
  Caprine: Caprine,
  Code: Code,
  Default: Default,
  Figma: Figma,
  'Google Chrome': GoogleChrome,
  Music: Music,
  'Sequel Pro': SequelPro,
  Skype: Skype,
  Slack: Slack,
  Zeplin: Zeplin
}

As you can see if there is no icon defined for a running process, there is a default one which will be used as fallback.

Manage excluded app from spaces display

To prevent specific apps icon to show in SpacesDisplay file, add/remove app name in appExclusions array :

const appExclusions = ['Finder', 'iTerm2']

Refresh bar on app or workspace change

The widget for displaying yabai workspaces and process aren't refreshing automatically or with a delay.
To refresh them on space or display change, you can add these lines utilizing yabai's signals at the end of .yabairc:

# Refresh spaces widget on space change
yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-spaces-jsx\"'"
# Refresh spaces widget on display focus change
yabai -m signal --add event=display_changed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-spaces-jsx\"'"
# Refresh process widget on space change
yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-process-jsx\"'"
# Uncomment next line to enable spaces widget refresh on your 2nd monitor
# yabai -m signal --add event=space_changed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-spaces-2-jsx\"'"

# Refresh process widget on when focused application changes
yabai -m signal --add event=application_front_switched action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-process-jsx\"'"
# Refresh spaces widget on when focused application changes
yabai -m signal --add event=application_front_switched action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-spaces-jsx\"'"

# Refresh process widget on when an application window is closed
yabai -m signal --add event=window_destroyed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-process-jsx\"'"
# Refresh spaces widget on when an application window is closed
yabai -m signal --add event=window_destroyed action="osascript -e 'tell application \"Übersicht\" to refresh widget id \"simple-bar-spaces-jsx\"'"

Dual display support

In order to support spaces display with a second monitor, you'll need to activate simple-bar-spaces-2-jsx only on your secondary monitor and simple-bar-spaces-jsx on your main.
