This bar project aims to create a highly flexible, customizable, fast and powerful status bar replacement for people that like playing with shell scripts.
 ## Features * Optimized to be *Fast* and *Efficient* * Completely *Scriptable* * Fully *Configurable* * Entirely *Animatable* * Support for drawing native macOS menu bar applications (aliases) * Powerful event and scripting system * Popup Menus * Mouse Support * Support for graphs * Per display and per space individualization ## Getting Started Refer to the installation guide in the [documentation](https://felixkratz.github.io/SketchyBar/setup) to get the program set up. Once this is sorted you can start to become familiar with the syntax of sketchybar by going through the default [*sketchybarrc*](https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar/blob/master/sketchybarrc) file, which is located in `~/.config/sketchybar/sketchybarrc` and looks like this:  All commands and options are explained in detail in the relevant sections of the configuration [documentation](https://felixkratz.github.io/SketchyBar/config/bar). You can try the commands directly from the commandline to see which affect they have and how they alter the bar. Once you have become familiar with the syntax you can look for a config to start from [here](https://github.com/FelixKratz/SketchyBar/discussions/47) or start from scratch and customize everything to your liking.
