[Bug] sketchybar alias items disappears when macos menubar is set to transparent with yabai. #558

Closed aspauldingcode closed 1 month ago

aspauldingcode commented 1 month ago

when I run yabai -m config menubar_opacity 0.0 to disable menubar mouse events, all sketchybar menubar alias items disappear.

if we set the alias item colors, it shouldn't change. in addition, if I use a different float value, it impacts the sketchybar alias items. This should not impact sketchybar either.

Fixed manually by disabling update_freq before hiding menubar, after updating sketchybar.

sketchybar --update

# Fetch the menu items from sketchybar query
sleep 4
/opt/homebrew/bin/sketchybar --query default_menu_items | /run/current-system/sw/bin/jq -r '.[]' | while IFS= read -r item; do /opt/homebrew/bin/sketchybar --set "$item" alias.update_freq=0; done && sleep 3
/opt/homebrew/bin/yabai -m config menubar_opacity 0.0

Think the updating of the alias (for the clock for example) causes it to disappear because it also reads in alpha color values..?

Thats to be expected, because we use a screen capture of the actual menu bar item to display the alias.
