This bar is for yabai, but I'm using it with amethyst and it works great. It just shows what spaces are active, regardless of the WM. Works across monitors too (even though I can't get amethyst to do the same...) https://github.com/somdoron/spacebar

@booherbg Could you share your setup? I'm interested in getting something like this working as well!
I got this working! Regarding the top status bar to indicate which desktop is active @booherbg suggestion for spacebar worked perfectly fine for me:
And as for the active window border, the maker of yabai
has been kind enough to port the code responsible of this out of yabai and it doesn't need you to disable SIP:
https://github.com/koekeishiya/limelight
Just run make (the build took a few seconds) and a bin file will be generated and follow the other instructions there
Create a config file for limelight in: ~/.config/limelight/limelightrc
The one I used:
#!/usr/bin/env sh
limelight -m config width 2
limelight -m config radius 0
limelight -m config placement interior
limelight -m config active_color 0xff00ff00
limelight -m config normal_color 0xff555555
echo "limelight configuration loaded.."
Hope that this works for you!
Using yabai without window management capabilities works for me.
Configure your ~/.yabairc
to the following way.
# Disable window management
yabai -m config layout float
yabai -m rule --add app="^.*$" manage=off
# Borders
yabai -m config window_border on
yabai -m config window_border_width 10
yabai -m config active_window_border_color 0xff00ffff
yabai -m config insert_feedback_color 0XFF50FA7B
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I have several screens and when I cycle through them sometimes is hard to tell which one has the focus and which window is focused.
Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice to have some effect that shows where your "cursor" is. What desktop has the window active for example.
Describe alternatives you've considered One short way to do it maybe is to display a little banner like it does when you cycle through layouts.
Thanks!
