Adding AEROSPACE_EMPTY_WORKSPACES to the exec-on-workspace-change event will make it possible to dynamically show/hide or visually indicate which workspace has no windows currently in it in sketchybar or similar softwares.
Example from the AeroSpace Goodness section in the readme:
aerospace.toml
exec-on-workspace-change = ['/bin/bash', '-c',
'/opt/homebrew/opt/sketchybar/bin/sketchybar --trigger aerospace_workspace_change FOCUSED_WORKSPACE=$AEROSPACE_FOCUSED_WORKSPACE EMPTY_WORKSPACES=$AEROSPACE_EMPTY_WORKSPACES'
]
.config/sketchybar/plugins/aerospace.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# make sure it's executable with:
# chmod +x ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins/aerospace.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# make sure it's executable with:
# chmod +x ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins/aerospace.sh
if echo "$EMPTY_WORKSPACES" | grep -q "$1"; then
LABEL_COLOR="$RED" # marks empty workspaces in red
else
LABEL_COLOR="$WHITE" # marks workspaces with windows in white
fi
if [ "$1" = "$FOCUSED_WORKSPACE" ]; then
sketchybar --set $NAME background.drawing=on label.color="$LABEL_COLOR"
else
sketchybar --set $NAME background.drawing=off label.color="$LABEL_COLOR"
fi
Currently, if adding EMPTY_WORKSPACES=$(aerospace list-workspaces --monitor focused --empty) to ~/.config/sketchybar/plugins/aerospace.sh it is slow, because it computes it for every workspace on workspace change, which is not ideal and the performance drop is visible. I could not find other way to do it dynamically so it updates if the workspace becomes empty/popuplated. I've red to readmes many times, looked at other configs in github for a way to do it with no luck.
