A new System Tray widget has been added to komorebi-bar, bringing native
Windows system tray functionality directly into the bar.
Special thanks to the Zebar project and its contributors for developing
the systray-util crate library that makes Windows system tray
integration possible.
The widget intercepts system tray icon data by creating a hidden "spy"
window that mimics the Windows taskbar. When applications use the
Shell_NotifyIcon API to manage their tray icons, the widget receives the
same broadcast messages, allowing it to monitor all system tray activity
while forwarding messages to the real taskbar to avoid disruption.
Users can configure which icons to hide using flexible rules. A plain
string matches by exe name (case-insensitive). A structured object can
match on exe, tooltip, and/or GUID fields using AND logic. Each field
supports matching strategies from komorebi's window rules (Equals,
StartsWith, EndsWith, Contains, Regex, and their negated variants),
allowing precise filtering even when multiple icons share the same exe
and GUID. An info button opens a floating panel listing all icons with
their properties and copy buttons, making it easy to identify which
values to use in filter rules.
The widget fully supports mouse interactions including left-click,
right-click, middle-click, and double-click actions on tray icons.
Double-click support uses the LeftDoubleClick action from systray-util
0.2.0, which sends WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK and NIN_SELECT messages. It handles
right-aligned placement correctly by adjusting the rendering order and
toggle button arrow directions to maintain consistent visual appearance
regardless of which panel the widget is placed in.
Some system tray icons register a click callback but never actually
respond to click messages, effectively becoming "zombie" icons from an
interaction standpoint. The widget includes fallback commands for known
problematic icons that override the native click action with a direct
shell command (e.g. opening Windows Security or volume settings).
The implementation uses a background thread with its own tokio runtime
to handle the async systray events, communicating with the UI thread
through crossbeam channels. Icon images are cached efficiently using
hash-based keys that update when icons change. Rapid icon updates are
deduplicated to prevent UI freezing, and image conversion (RgbaImage to
ColorImage) is performed on the background thread to keep the UI
responsive.
The widget automatically detects and removes stale icons whose owning
process has exited, using the Win32 IsWindow API on a configurable
interval. A manual refresh button is also available for immediate
cleanup.
A shortcuts button can be configured to toggle komorebi-shortcuts by
killing the process if running or starting it otherwise. The refresh,
info, and shortcuts buttons can each be placed in the main visible area
or in the overflow section.
This commit adds a new SocketMessage variant PromoteSwap and
corresponding komorebic promote-swap command.
PromoteSwap will also promote the focused window container to the
largest tile in the layout, but instead of removing the focused
container x from the Ring and inserting it into position 0, possibly
changing the positions of other windows between 0 and x, the indices x
and 0 in the Ring will be swapped directly.
This commit adds visual feedback in the form of a ghost tile for
preselections made by the preselect-direction command.
A container with the id "PRESELECT" will be added to the workspace, and
replaced when the next manage-able window is spawned.
A new command, cancel-preselect, has been added to remove both the
preselection index and the ghost tile if the user changes their mind.
This commit adds a new feature to preselect the direction of the next
spawned window with a corresponding komorebic preselect-direction
command which takes an OperationDirection.
If the OperationDirection is valid from the current position, it will be
stored in the Workspace state, and then read, applied, and deleted when
the next manage-able window is spawned.
Direction preselection does not (yet?) support the Grid layout.
This commit introduces three new commands, session-float-rule,
session-float-rules, and clear-session-float-rules, which add a
composite float rule for the currently focused window for the duration
of the komorebi session, print the float rules scoped to the current
komorebi session, and clear any float rules scoped to the current
komorebi session respectively.
The composite rule created is fairly strict, using
MatchingStrategy::Equals on the Exe, Class and Title.
Users can run session-float-rule as they are working to avoid having to
break their workflow and edit their configuration file, and when they
are ready, they can run session-float-rules to print out the composite
rules which have been generated and added to the current session to
further refine before adding them to their configuration files.
re #1402
This commit adds two new komorebic commands, move-to-last-workspace and
send-to-last-workspace, which move or send the focused window to the
last focused workspace on the focused monitor.
This commit adds a variation of the cycle-workspace command which will
attempt to focus the next empty workspace in the given direction (with
the usual wraparound). If there are no empty workspaces available, this
command will do nothing.
This commit introduces an implementation of workspace layers to
komorebi.
Workspace layers change the kinds of windows that certain commands
operate on. This implementation features two variants,
WorkspaceLayer::Tiling and WorkspaceLayer::Floating.
The default behaviour until now has been WorkspaceLayer::Tiling.
When the user sets WorkspaceLayer::Floating, either through the
'toggle-workspace-layer' command or the new bar widget, the 'move',
'focus', 'cycle-focus' and 'resize-axis' commands will operate on
floating windows, if the currently focused window is a floating window.
As I don't have 'cycle-focus' bound to anything, 'focus up' and 'focus
down' double as incrementing and decrementing cycle focus commands,
iterating focus through the floating windows assigned to a workspace.
Floating windows in komorebi belong to specific workspaces, therefore
commands such as 'move' and 'resize-axis' will restrict movement and
resizing to the bounds of their workspace's work area (or more
accurately, the work area of the monitor that the workspace belongs to,
as floating windows are never constrained by workspace-specific work
area restrictions).
This commit switches all relevant commands to treat the v2
applications.json asc format as the default format in all commands.
The v1 applications.yaml file will still be processed correctly if
passed.
This commit renames a number of border-related code refs, removing the
ActiveWindow prefix since these borders are no longer just for the
active window.
Aliases have been added to preserve backwards compat for existing
configs.
An example AHK configuration file has been added to the Common Workflows
section of the docs site.
A link to the docs site has been added to the output of komorebic start.
A note has been added recommending that users disable system animations
for the best experience in the Getting Started guide.
