Brave Browser tab mode: vertical shows through applications with yabai

[aspauldingcode]

I think this is a yabai issue. But, if I report it to brave, they're not going to fix it likely, so I don't know where to go. The issue occurs when SIP is disabled and I use yabai, where I've set windows to be transparent and tranisition between active / inactive windows I think. Breaks things when I have brave browser open and vertical tabs enabled, and another application such as alacritty. When I run something like alacritty simplefullscreen mode, Brave Browser bleeds through the vertical tabs, rendering them on top.

yabai version: yabai-v6.0.6 macos (M1): 14.1.2 Brave Browser Version: v 1.61.114

Sketchybar can (likely) be fixed by moving it down by one layer, as mentioned in the sketchybar/share-your-plugins/ post.

What is the output of yabai -m query --windows --space and this problem occurs?

$ yabai -m query --windows --space

Could I do a command that does something like: yabai -m set window alacritty layer = above? Or top? Maybe they can't both be below..

[aspauldingcode]

It's still an issue...

[koekeishiya]

Not sure what can be done here if this is still an issue in the latest version of yabai. The easy workaround is to set alacritty layer to either normal or above, when you enter this fullscreen mode.
