The following settings are available for the spaces:

  • Show on display: The displays on which the spaces widget will be displayed. Add a list of indexes (for example: "1,2"). Leave blank to display the widget on every spaces. Default is "".
  • Exclusions by app name: You can exclude some process with their app name. Simply add the wanted app name and separate multiple app names with a comma. Default is "".
  • Exclusions by window title name: Same as previous settings but with the window title nae. Default is "".
  • Exclude spaces by space name: Whole space(s) can be excluded for the spaces display by their name here separated by a comma. Default is "".
  • Use regex syntax in all exclusions fields: Instead of using comma in the exclusions fields, you can use the regex syntax. Default is false.
  • Display all spaces on all screens: By default, only spaces attached to the current display are displayed on all displays. This can be changed with this setting. Default is false.
  • Hide duplicate app icons in same space (useful in combination with process widget): Each instance of an app is displayed separately in their respective space. You can merge all duplicates with this setting. Default is false.
  • Display sticky windows separately: Sticky windows are displayed on each screens by default. You can choose to displayed only in one place thanks to this settings (at the left of all the spaces). Default is false.
  • Hide create space button: Simply hide the "+" button (which is only visible if you have SIP disabled). Default is false.
  • Hide empty spaces: Hide spaces with no opened apps. Default is false.
  • Show space options on hover: Space options are opened on right click if this setting is set to false. Default is true.
  • Switch spaces with ^⭠/^⭢ instead of yabai: Instead of relying on yabai to switch to a specific space (on space click), simple-bar will trigger the "switch to prev/next" space shortcut which need to be enabled in macos settings to be working. Default is false.
