Summary

Hello, I'm running komorebi v0.1.38 on Windows. The komorebi-bar is permanently fixed at a height of 30px, and it does not respect the bar_height setting in my komorebi.bar.json file.

I have already confirmed the following:

My configuration files are in the correct location (C:\Users\YourUsername).

The config files are being read correctly (my custom theme loads).

Windows Display Scaling is set to 100%.

The issue persists even when using a minimal configuration with all widgets disabled. An almost empty bar with bar_height set to 10 still renders at 30px tall.

This suggests there is a hardcoded minimum height or a bug in this version of the bar. I'm attaching my configuration files for reference.

@CtByte commented on GitHub (Oct 5, 2025):

where did you find the bar_height setting?

Try to use height as you can see here

Also, perhaps your expectation to set the height to 10px is a bit unreasonable 🙂
