Summary

Hello,

I keep the windows taskbar on the left hand side of the screen. When the komorebi bar is loaded, it is always under the taskbar which cuts part of it off. Are there any settings I can play with that will fix this?

I have tried changing work_area_offset but this only causes the application windows to move, but has no effect on the size of the komorebi bar itself.

Thanks!

I don't think this is a bug; if you are positioning your start bar on the left, you can use the appropriate configuration options for the bar to exclude that area - https://komorebi-bar.lgug2z.com/schema#position (you'll need to offset the start position )

(There are also a bunch of changes coming to simplify the bar config - stay tuned! 🤞 )
