Refreshing widgets with yabai

Wigets titlebar.jsx and spaces.jsx aren't refreshing automatically (performance reasons).

To refresh them, you can add these lines utilizing yabai's signals at the end of .yabairc:

# spaces
yabai -m signal \
    --add event=space_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application id \"tracesOf.Uebersicht\" to refresh widget id \"xbar-spaces-jsx\"'"

# title-bar
yabai -m signal \
    --add event=application_front_switched \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application id \"tracesOf.Uebersicht\" to refresh widget id \"xbar-titlebar-jsx\"'"

# title-bar
yabai -m signal \
    --add event=window_title_changed \
    action="osascript -e 'tell application id \"tracesOf.Uebersicht\" to refresh widget id \"xbar-titlebar-jsx\"'"
