Better Status Bar for MacOS

I've been using Ubersicht to generate a pretty status bar for me on MacOS:

After upgrading to Big Sur, I've noticed that my Battery widget seems to have broken. While searching for ways to fix it, I stumbled upon https://www.jeantinland.com/toolbox/simple-bar/

This is a beautiful bar that brings some more interactivity to the widgets, and fixes some of the issues I had with the yabai space indicators.

New:

I now set my MacOS menu bar to automatically hide, and use this bar instead for all of my needs.

Combined with named spaces and app icon previews, it's now very convenient to navigate on my Mac.

If you want to set this up, install these apps:

1. Yabai + skhd (sample configs: yabai and skhd)
2. Ubersicht
3. Simple Bar
