Spamming spaces highlight with animation messes up colors

[erics118]

basically, have a config where space highlight changes with an animation, then spam switching spaces (eg with hotkeys set with skhd)

video:

the white box is a window that i put on each space, so it is guaranteed to show the correct space.

sample config (the one used for the video)

~/.config/sketchybar/demo/sketchybarrc:

#!/bin/bash

bar=(
    height=30
    color=0xff000000
    position=top
    sticky=on
    topmost=on
)
sketchybar --bar "${bar[@]}"

# spaces
SPACE_ICONS=("1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10")

sid=0
spaces=()
for i in "${!SPACE_ICONS[@]}"; do
    sid=$(($i + 1))

    space=(
        associated_space=$sid
        icon="${SPACE_ICONS[i]}"
        icon.highlight_color=0xffff0000
        script="~/.config/sketchybar/demo/space.sh"
    )

    sketchybar --add space space.$sid left \
        --set space.$sid "${space[@]}"
done
# end spaces

sketchybar --update

echo "sketchybar configuration loaded.."

~/.config/sketchybar/demo/space.sh:

#!/bin/bash

sketchybar \
    --animate sin 10 \
    --set $NAME icon.highlight=$SELECTED

I also had this issue, have to restart sketchy bar every day to fix it.

Should be fixed on master, you can test by running:

brew services stop sketchybar
brew uninstall sketchybar
brew install sketchybar --head
brew services start sketchybar

and then go back to the stable release with

brew services stop sketchybar
brew uninstall sketchybar
brew install sketchybar
brew services start sketchybar

Thank you for quick fix @FelixKratz
