[BUG]: Taskbar is drawn over the komorebi-bar when it is placed on the left side of the screen

[rlopeznegrete]

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!

Hotkey Configuration

using default

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\Username

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Username

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

"custom_layout" is now end-of-life

End-of-life features will not receive any further bug fixes or updates; they should not be used

Found C:\Users\Username.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd fla

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! 🤞 )

aah I was able to move the bar as need! Feel free to close this issue as this is not a bug.

thanks!
