Sketchybar configs

[Dadams2]

I Have loved using aerospace so far and want to do a proper sketchybar setup for it. It would appear lots of people using yabai have taken inspiration from Felix Kratz's configuration likely due to its good visualization and interaction with yabai spaces.

Unfortunately this also means it is tightly coupled to yabai's cli and works better with 'displays have separate spaces' is turned on, going against what aerospace recommends.

I have had a quick look and reproduced most of the functionality of this config for aerospace but really I am looking for examples of what other people have done.

If there is sufficient interest I can push it up as its own repo but as a sample here is the adaptation of space-windows.sh.

The following assumes you have included the following snippet from aerospace goodies

exec-on-workspace-change = ['/bin/bash', '-c',
    'sketchybar --trigger aerospace_workspace_change FOCUSED_WORKSPACE=$AEROSPACE_FOCUSED_WORKSPACE'
]

#!/bin/bash

# Destroy space on right click, focus space on left click.

spaces=()
for i in $(aerospace list-workspaces --all);
do
  WORKSPACE=$(aerospace list-workspaces --all --json --format %{workspace}%{monitor-appkit-nsscreen-screens-id} | jq --arg workspace_id $i '.[] | select(.workspace == $workspace_id)')
  DISPLAY=$(echo "$WORKSPACE" | jq '.["monitor-appkit-nsscreen-screens-id"]')

  space=(
    icon=$i
    icon.padding_left=10
    icon.padding_right=10
    padding_left=2
    padding_right=2
    label.padding_right=20
    icon.highlight_color=$RED
    label.color=$GREY
    label.highlight_color=$WHITE
    label.font="sketchybar-app-font:Regular:16.0"
    label.y_offset=-1
    background.color=$BACKGROUND_1
    background.border_color=$BACKGROUND_2
    display=$DISPLAY
    script="$PLUGIN_DIR/space.sh $i"
  )

  sketchybar --add item space.$i left    \
             --set space.$i "${space[@]}" \
             --subscribe space.$i aerospace_workspace_change \
             --subscribe space.$i mouse.clicked
done

space_creator=(
  icon=􀆊
  icon.font="$FONT:Heavy:16.0"
  padding_left=10
  padding_right=8
  label.drawing=off
  display=active
  click_script=''
  script="$PLUGIN_DIR/space_windows.sh"
  icon.color=$WHITE
)

sketchybar --add item space_creator left               \
           --set space_creator "${space_creator[@]}"   \
           --subscribe space_creator aerospace_workspace_change

and the corresponding plugin script:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$SENDER" = "aerospace_workspace_change" ]; then
  apps="$(aerospace list-windows --workspace "$FOCUSED_WORKSPACE" --json --format %{app-name} | jq -r '.[]."app-name"')"

  icon_strip=" "
  if [ "${apps}" != "" ]; then
    while read -r app
    do
      icon_strip+=" $($CONFIG_DIR/plugins/icon_map.sh "$app")"
    done <<< "${apps}"
  else
    icon_strip=" —"
  fi

  sketchybar --animate sin 10 --set space.$FOCUSED_WORKSPACE label="$icon_strip"
fi

• When I say most of the functionality I haven't quite got the icon highlighting working for stacking/tabbed/fullscreen as the original config does for yabai.
• I am aware of the lua api for sketchybar and will get it working with aerospace soon but figured I would start with bash to get things rolling
