| 1 | # SketchyBar config (translated from Waybar) |
| 2 | |
| 3 | This is a translation of a Hyprland/Waybar setup (`config` + `style.css`) into an |
| 4 | equivalent [SketchyBar](https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar) config for macOS. |
| 5 | Layout, fonts, and colours mirror the originals as closely as macOS allows. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Install |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ```sh |
| 10 | # 1. SketchyBar + the font your CSS references |
| 11 | brew tap FelixKratz/formulae |
| 12 | brew install sketchybar |
| 13 | brew install --cask font-anonymice-nerd-font # "AnonymicePro Nerd Font" |
| 14 | |
| 15 | # 2. Drop these files in place |
| 16 | cp -r .config/sketchybar ~/.config/ # (or move this folder there) |
| 17 | chmod +x ~/.config/sketchybar/sketchybarrc ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins/*.sh |
| 18 | |
| 19 | # 3. Start it |
| 20 | brew services start sketchybar |
| 21 | ``` |

| 25 | | Item | Needs | Install | |
| 26 | |-------------|--------------------------------|---------------------------------| |
| 27 | | workspaces | yabai (tiling WM) for `space` | `brew install koekeishiya/formulae/yabai` | |
| 28 | | bluetooth | `blueutil` | `brew install blueutil` | |
| 29 | | brightness | `brightness` CLI | `brew install brightness` | |
| 30 | | weather | `curl` (built in) | — | |
| 31 | |
| 32 | > **Spaces / yabai:** the `space` component needs yabai, which needs SIP partially |
| 33 | > disabled. If you'd rather not touch SIP, [AeroSpace](https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace) |
| 34 | > is a SIP-free tiling WM — swap the `space` loop for its `aerospace_workspace_change` |
| 35 | > event and point `click_script` at `aerospace workspace $sid`. |

| 39 | | Waybar | SketchyBar | Notes | |
| 40 | |-----------------------|-----------------------------------|-------| |
| 41 | | hyprland/workspaces | `space` items (yabai) | number icon, dim→white for active (Waybar's 3px top-border → `icon.highlight`) | |
| 42 | | hyprland/window | `front_app` | shows app name; window *title* needs a yabai query (noted in plugin) | |
| 43 | | clock | `clock` | same `%a %d %b %H:%M` format | |
| 44 | | battery (BAT0) | `battery` | `pmset`; same icons, warning@25 / critical@10, charging bolt | |
| 45 | | bluetooth | `bluetooth` | `blueutil`; on/off/connected glyphs, click toggles power | |
| 46 | | network | `network` | ip + wifi/ethernet/off glyph (cidr & RSSI dropped — not exposed on macOS) | |
| 47 | | pulseaudio | `volume` | native `volume_change`; volume% + icon, mute glyph | |
| 48 | | backlight | `brightness` | `brightness` CLI; scroll to adjust (flaky on Apple Silicon) | |
| 49 | | custom/storage | `storage` | `df /`; warning@80 / critical@90 | |
| 50 | | custom/weather | `weather` | `wttr.in` in °F, click opens wttr.in | |
| 51 | | custom/mail | `mail` | Mail.app unread count (swap for your provider) | |
| 52 | | custom/spotify | `spotify` | native `media_change`; title–artist, click play/pause | |
| 53 | | idle_inhibitor | `caffeinate` | click toggles `caffeinate`; lock/unlock glyphs | |
| 54 | |
| 55 | ## Omitted (no macOS/SketchyBar equivalent) |
| 56 | |
| 57 | - **tray** — the macOS menu bar already renders status/menu-extra icons. |
| 58 | - **privacy** (screenshare/mic) — macOS shows camera/mic indicators natively. |
| 59 | - **hyprland/submap** — yabai has no submap concept. |
| 60 | - **battery#num2** (BAT1) — Macs have a single battery. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Colours in `colors.sh` and glyphs in `icons.sh` are taken verbatim from your |
| 63 | `style.css` and `config` (glyphs are byte-for-byte identical). |
