Auto-switch from pill to icon on hover?

[tiagojsag]

Thanks for this project, I've been using it for a few days and it's a life saver for someone like me, transitioning from i3wm to MacOS.

About my issue/question: pretty much what it says on the title: is there a way to have the UI in pill/minimal mode, and switch to icon on hover? The use case is to have less intrusive UI elements (so I can easily click the buttons on the actual windows), while retaining a quick way to click stackline icons when desired.

Hey @tiagojsag - sorry, I can't answer your question but want to ask you something. I am a code newbie and wanted to ask you how you got the stackline running? In my case after following the well written instruction the icons do not appear on the left side. I am sure this is because of some minor changes in macOS or so since the author can't maintain this anymore. Would you be so kind providing information on how you set this up?

I have the same issue on Sonoma.

Hey @vitusli @marcwilly, I had this same problem on my computer (Macbook Air M1, Ventura) and I fixed it by changing the path for the yabai binary on line 11 in stackline/conf.lua. By default it's set to /usr/local/bin/yabai, but by running which yabai I figured out that the correct path for me is /opt/homebrew/bin/yabai because I used Homebrew to install yabai. Hopefully this helps.
