Share your setups

[FelixKratz]

I am very interested in what you create with sketchybar, and would enjoy to see some of your setups. Share them below and consider linking your dotfiles, such that others can use your setup as a starting point for their configuration.

Current Setup

[es183923]

Sorry, I was referring to how the apps windows themselves do not have a title, as windows themselves usually have a bar on the top showing the traffic lights and title.

[typkrft]

Sorry, I was referring to how the apps windows themselves do not have a title, as windows themselves usually have a bar on the top showing the traffic lights and title.

Gotcha. The terminal is kitty, the browser is firefox, and the editor is vscode. For kitty, you can look here at my kitty conf. For firefox you can look here at my userChrome.css. And for VSCode you need to install Customize UI then add "customizeUI.titleBar": "frameless" to you settings.json.

[Edwardtw92]

@andreicorpo Currently using Firefox with a config I forked from StealthFox. Also using Pywal / PywalFox to generate themes for Firefox et al.
I notice the link to your Firefox config is down, do you mind sharing it again? I am very interested in maxing my firefox look like that too.

[kennedyshead]

How do you hide the app title part of the window?

I’m actually working on a browser with just this as a reason (also it turned out FF Chrome and so on draws a shitload of resources), its also nice behaving for yabai as it sets the title a little different compared to the mainline browsers.
If you want to try it out just ping me :)

[adamfurman7]

@typkrft How did you get BTC price in there. I am working on a plugin for it copied from somewhere I found here, but doesn't seem to display the label.

[andreicorpo]

[ssate]

looks great! mind sharing your sketchybarrc file?

[Tweetsauceyeep]

That looks amazing.. Could you share your dotfiles???

[itaysharir]

I know this is old but can you please share your sketchybarrc?

[ut0mt8]

Here's mine but still very wip.

[typkrft]

Nice and Clean. I like that y-offset and padding, giving the bar some room to breath.

[vterdunov]

@ut0mt8 Nice! Could you share your sketchybarrc?

[BR00l]

Here is my Dracula setup, all going well finaly, except the space highlight.... I have no idea why it dont work....
If anyone has any idea, it will be appreciated :)

[typkrft]

I remember having an issue with Space Highlighting as well a while back. Don't forget to update your bar at the bottom or it won't highlight until you've switched spaces, if that doesn't work you can look at my sketchybarrc in my Dots repo to see if there's something missing maybe.

[Bellavene]

Which music player is it?

[BR00l]

Its just ncmpcpp with visualiser :)

[typkrft]

New Setup

[montyclt]

How you removed title and "semaphore" buttons of the window using yabai?

[donRehan]

How did you remove title and resize buttons from the browser ?

[milxzy]

I would love to see the dot files! Dope setup!

[JGStyle]

is this a firefox browser in the bottom left corner and if yes, how did you change it to look like that

[john-json]

is this a firefox browser in the bottom left corner and if yes, how did you change it to look like that

I guess that is Arc browser

[ssate]

My Nord themed setup.

This is still very much a wip and there are some things I want to change but as it is slowly coming together I figured I would share it :-)

[irls-svg]

@aydinyal looks like it might be firefox with custom css & custom start page? op's got /r/firefoxcss bookmarked so just taking a guess.

@/op this is super clean, love it

[prgres]

Could share your dot files?

[Ethnical]

Hello there could you share your dot files for the bar she is nice! :)

[schulzf]

how do you get rid of the window shadows?

[nikth0]

https://github.com/ssate/dotfiles

[SxC97]

Another Nord-Themed setup. Lots of work to do to completely switch over to Sketchybar from previous solutions, but I’m quite happy with how things are turning out!

All relevant file can be found on my dotfiles repo

[ut0mt8]

Very nice.

[FelixKratz]

Wow, it is amazing to see such a beautiful design made with sketchybar. I lack the artistic talent to create something like this myself, so I will definitely have a look at your dotfiles!

[SxC97]

Thank you for the kind words! I spent most of this weekend taking a break from porting plugins and working on cleaning up my code. I also lack any kind of artistic ability so I just looked up some polybar themes and colored them with the basic nord colors. I use rofi/polybar/bspwm on linux and I’m just so happy I can get a similar set up on macOS with alfred/sketchybar/yabai!

Sketchybar is significantly more powerful than I had assumed at first glance, I’m definitely going to spend some more time writing plugins and making the bar more responsive to mouse events in the near future!

[marsjane]

can I know how to install this Furacode Nerd font? I cannot find it in the brew font cask list

[es183923]

Here's my setup:

[cxa]

This is my setup. Using very dirty hacks, still WIP, no dotfiles available yet, sorry.

Ref: https://github.com/Rashad-707/dotfiles

[cxa]

Thanks.

View z-index and background corner-radius-[left|right] should be very helpful.

[FelixKratz]

#102 will solve some of the hackyness in the future.

[SxC97]

How did you get the yellow background text behind the white text in the center item?

[cxa]

zero width label with offset.

[baggiponte]

This is so nice! How did you get the rounded effects on sketchybar?

[FelixKratz]

This was for testing mainly.

[cxa]

Have no idea if I can add square shadow like this. I hard coded this.

[FelixKratz]

Texts have a shadow property now, backgrounds will follow soon (113447d) -> v2.4.0

[FelixKratz]

Backgrounds now have the shadow property activated in v2.3.2. You can freely configure angle, distance and color.

[tejasannap]

mind sharing your dotfiles and what you use for the left hand side?

ahh shame, your setup looked sick! thanks for the stackline

[davidc360]

My minimalist setup that tracks my Leetcode progress as I prepare for interviews. Thank you for creating this!

[diocletiann]

Looks great. Is that Safari? How did you disable the rounded corners?

[KaiserBloo]

lucki 👀

[nyanSpruk]

How did you hide the vscode title bar with the close/minimise/fulscreen buttons?

[TSOT7]

never thought i'd see lucki in a mac os rice

[54853315]

Wow， Nice ,where I can get this code?

[alex-jerechinsky]

Loving sketchybar so far.

[IoannisTM]

dotfiles? please?

[zfhxi]

very nice, could you provide your dotfiles?

[typkrft]

Still working to integrate some of the new features as well as modularizing my config. Dracula Everything.

Theme: Dracula
Font: VictorMono
Hardware: 16'' M1 Max

[FelixKratz]

Looks very elegant, especially because it hides the notch so nicely.

[typkrft]

Thanks! I appreciate your work on this.

[khanh-th]

What is your current version of mac os? if it is mac os 12 version do you have any problem with yabai border ?

[diocletiann]

I love the Firefox look! How did you disable rounded corners?

[itaysharir]

can you share your dots?

[johnallen3d]

Finally making the leap v2 of sketcybar!

[ghost]

Vrey cool! could you share your dotfiles ?

[johnallen3d]

I've done a terrible job keeping my dotfiles organized in a repo (too busy tweaking settings in free time). 🤦‍♂️

Here's a current Gist of my sketchybarrc.

Thank You!

[dvrkoo]

hey could you give an update on these? I dig the minimal look

[shajra]

Here's my submission. I call it Terminal Capitalism. But it's really Solarized Light. I don't actually use a wallpaper. I find MacOS's transparency distracting. I also don't have window gaps that wide. I just did all that to make the screenshot look fancy.

Though I'm happy that SketchyBar, Yabai, Borders, and SbarLua exist, I'm even more happy that I was able to use Nix to lock my dotfiles and all the dependencies (including compiling the CPU "helper" app and SbarLua's shared library). The programmatic control of Nix is really nice.

All that work can be found at https://github.com/shajra/shajra-provisioning. In that project's docs, I also wrote up a little about my setup

@amsynist
Do you plan to open source this cli? I'd love to try it.

[amsynist]

@weeebdev yeah its just a simple script will share here in a day

Hey update :
Just pushed the cli to repo , the readme would get the setup done :)
gowal : https://github.com/amsynist/gowal

[JGStyle]

@amsynist
How do your windows animate the new size? Looks amazing

[amsynist]

Hey @JGStyle

Below should get the animation if you are using yabai .

yabai -m config window_animation_duration 0.10

yabai -m config window_opacity_duration 0.25

[uTkArShVeRm4]

@amsynist Hey man, are you going to make an install.sh script soon? Would love to have a setup similar to yours.

[maclong9]

[dvrkoo]

would you mind sharing your dots I really like the bar

[weeebdev]

Does it work with music played in browser like Arc?

[FelixKratz]

This is my first ever fully lua driven config. I really think there is so much potential in using lua for the configuration of the bar, because the communication no longer happens through fork->exec->mach but only through mach messages, completely cutting out the (large) fork->exec overhead. The lua module for sketchybar is available here SbarLua.

The menus on the left side can be swapped with space indicators with the small toggle (or via a shortcut by calling sketchybar --trigger swap_menus_and_spaces). The menus are clickable and present the correct menus from the default macOS bar.

[hjm79]

How do I change the color of the Topbar?
It's SbarLua, so I don't know.

[khaneliman]

That said, I wasn't sure what theme is being used. I looked at some of the canned ones, but I couldn't find this theme.

https://github.com/catppuccin/btop

How do I change the color of the Topbar?

It's SbarLua, so I don't know.

Basically it just converts lua tables to the commands you should be used to in bash when you set properties via cli. So you can read the sketchybar documentation and find the property you are looking for and make a table for it.

[mikalcallahan]

+1 for Silverstein

[hjm79]

Thank you. I changed the color.

[albertilagan]

@FelixKratz Do you have a working version of your old setup using lua? or is there limitation?

[Tnixc]

Roughly tokyo-night, loving the vertical setup.

Woah, gorgeous! Need to try vertical setup now 🤤

[kahnclusions]

Loving the vertical bar. @Tnixc link to the wallpaper?

[john-json]

modded from [FelixKratz]´s new Lua setup!

[minhttx]

thanks for the dotfiles. But on my machine (Mac Air M1), the Wifi widget doesnt work. It just show the icon and 000 for both download and upload. Also, the network name and IP address don't display. I tried to turn off wifi but the icon remain unchanged. Can you show me how to fix this?

[matthewshammond]

@minhttx you need to change all instances of en1 in his wifi.lua to en0

[john-json]

Like matthews said you need to change the interface to the one your Mac is using, original it was en0 but on my Mac m1 it was en1

[minhttx]

Thanks all. That fixes it.

[KJis1809]

@john-json link to the wallpaper pls?

[linkarzu]

My youtube video to install and configure sketchybar

In case anyone coming here is not too advanced with github, the terminal, and all the stuff that is needed to install sketchybar, I created a youtube tutorial that goes over the instructions in a simple way.

• I'm following the official documentation created by the project owner.
• If you find the video useful, give it a like and comment, that will help me in making youtube show the video to others and determine if I should keep making videos.

Link to my blog with the commands used in the video

• Install and configure sketchybar macOS

[jckpn]

Not sure if this has been tried before, but I'm really enjoying SketchyBar as a way to utilise the space next to the dock:

[AsexyLordRevan]

That's a great idea

[weeebdev]

how did you enable those lyrics at the right bottom corner?

[AsexyLordRevan]

I think that's the title of the song

My setup, still learning.
I need to explore animations, click events and popups.

Here's my setup, based on Simple Catppuccin by Tnixc

I did some changes to the battery and network scripts, as well as add temperature and thermal pressure readings.

If anyone is interested in how to read the temperatures, I made this tool based on a few different sources: macos-temp-tool for arm64 Macs / Apple Silicone.

The tool can be used like this:
