Starting the app does nothing

Open cpele opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

When I start the app (installed via Brew) nothing happens. No window, no item in the menu bar, no icon in the Dock. In the Activity Monitor there is a process running, but nothing else.

NB: I tried WhichSpace too as Spaceman is based on it, and WhichSpace works.

I have a M1 MacBook Pro.

It could be that you have a lot of spaces and a lot of other menu bar apps in the menu bar and Spaceman is too large to fit in the menu bar, resulting it in being hidden. Could you check if this is the case?

Same behavior here but I'have a lot of spaces (6 spaces on monitor 1 / 9 spaces on monitor 2). Any workaround ?

@Jaysce You're right I had 5 spaces and when I delete them I see the app in the menu bar. I think it's because of the notch of the M1 MacBook Pro, it doesn't leave enough space for Spaceman.

My issue is that after downloading the dmg, starting the application does nothing whatsoever. No menu bar icon as well, even though the process is running in the background confirmed by my activity monitor.

I tried uninstalling/reinstalling it, as well as the homebrew install. None seem to be able to open the application.
