simple-bar-lite supports only yabai v4 and above.
Becareful, for Big Sur users, some actions must be taken in order to make yabai with scripting addition fully operational: see here for more details.
simple-bar-lite has been tested and is working on Monterey, Ventura & Sonoma but should work on both Catalina & Big Sur.
It is important to note that you'll need to use yabai in bsp or stack layout mode in order to prevent app windows to overlap simple-bar.
