My windows go above sketchybar with yabai

Yabai doesn't seem to be detecting it.

Check the external_bar property of yabai, it will make sure no windows are put where the bar resides, e.g. when sketchybar and yabai are already running:

yabai -m config external_bar all:$(sketchybar --query bar | jq .height):0

Any idea on how to solve this for aerospace?

EDIT:

This can be solved in aerospace with the following config

[gaps]
outer.bottom = 30

While the value should (to avoid having an gap between bar and window) match the height of sketchybar i.e.:

sketchybar --bar height=30

The Aerospace solution only works for me when using my MacBook's display.

When i'm on my Mac's display, I can keep the gap at 0 and everything is properly aligned.

If I connect an external monitor and close the Mac, everything overlaps.

If I add the gap, everything is fine on external display but the moment I switch back to the Mac's display, I now have the opposite offset problem that looks like this.

If it helps, i'm on Sequoia 15.3.1

On https://nikitabobko.github.io/AeroSpace/guide, it indicates that you can set per-monitor gaps:

# - Per monitor:  gaps.outer.top = [{ monitor.main = 16 }, { monitor."some-pattern" = 32 }, 24]

Something like this worked nicely in my aerospace.toml for both the internal notched monitor on my Macbook + my external 4K monitor:

[gaps]
    outer.top = [
        # Minimal gap on internal display
        { monitor."^built-in retina display$" = 4 },
        # Larger gap on all other displays
        40,
]

Thanks for this @kevinmost. Worked like a charm!
