A life without yabai window borders

gistfile1.txt

# I've been using a combination of yabai, skhd (with modal keybindings), and sketchybar.
## Recently, with the deprecation of the window border in yabai. I had to find a way to 
## keep track of the skhd current mode.

# Add the following lines to sketchybarrc: 

sketchybar --add item mode_indicator left
sketchybar --set mode_indicator drawing_method=separator
sketchybar --set mode_indicator label="default-mode | "

# Create a script that will manage the mode_indicator label and color

MODE=$1
COLOR=""

# Define mode colors
case $MODE in
    "move-mode")
        COLOR=0xff8aadf4
        ;;
    "resize-mode")
        COLOR=0xffa6da95
        ;;
    "focus-mode")
        COLOR=0xffeed49f
        ;;
    "default-mode")
        COLOR=0xffcad3f5
        ;;
        # add other modes here
esac

sketchybar --set mode_indicator label="$MODE | "
sketchybar --set mode_indicator label.color=$COLOR


## Add the following to the skhd config

:: default : [PATH_TO_SCRIPT] default-mode
:: move @ : [PATH_TO_SCRIPT]  move-mode
:: resize @ : [PATH_TO_SCRIPT] resize-mode
:: focus @ : [PATH_TO_SCRIPT] focus-mode


## To facilitate keeping track of the currently selected window 
## I'm using the well-known window_title plugin with some minor tweaks
