Summary

I'm encountering two usability issues while using komorebi with multiple monitors and workspace-restricted apps:

  1. Taskbar shows all apps from all workspaces
    When using workspaces with app restrictions (e.g., only allowing Chrome in workspace 3.WEB), the taskbar still displays all open apps from all workspaces, not just the apps assigned to the active workspace.

Expected behavior:

The taskbar should only display apps that are allocated to the currently active workspace.

Current behavior (screenshot below):

I am working in the 3.WEB workspace (Chrome-only), but the taskbar shows apps from all workspaces:

  1. Active workspace indicator shown on both monitors
    I have two monitors. When switching focus to a workspace on one monitor (e.g., 3.WEB), the active workspace is shown on both monitors (e.g., 1.Home and 3.WEB both appear active).

Expected behavior:

Only the workspace of the currently focused monitor should be shown as active in the komorebic-bar.

Would love to hear your thoughts or guidance on potential fixes or workarounds!

Thanks for the awesome tool 🙌

Both of these are the intended behaviours, but if you want to work on adding alternative opt-in behaviours, you can open a draft PR for implementation feedback.
