This is awesome @exculibar! Was able to get it working on my mac after running make install and renaming lima-plugin to lima-plugin.sf_simple.10s.

Were you able to get the XBARDarkMode env var to work? Looks like an open issue upstream: https://github.com/matryer/xbar/issues/734.

I tried

export XBARDarkMode=true
open -a xbar

and it still showed the xbar-light icons which doesn't look great on my menu bar. Hard-coding to

 plugin_type = (
    # "xbar-dark" if os.environ.get("XBARDarkMode") == "true" else "xbar-light"
     "xbar-dark"
)

works as expected.

Hi, @pythoninthegrass The new macOS Topbar dark mode appears to mimic the wallpaper's color, but xbar's XBARDarkMode environment variable adheres to the system settings, overriding any user-defined setting for that variable. Unfortunately, xbar doesn't provide a Light/Dark mode API specifically for the Topbar, so I can't resolve this issue at present. You might try switching to wallpapers with different dark or light styles, or use SwiftBar, which adjusts automatically based on the Topbar's Light/Dark mode.
