[Feature Request] Can this somehow work with Amethyst?

[dlvhdr]

I'm using the WM https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst.
Can this be easily adapted to use with it?

Much like yourself, I don't use yabai stacks. So, I wanted to try hacking it since a stack is nothing but overlapping windows (i.e windows with same coordinates and dimensions).

I tried two versions but neither of them seem to be working. But my idea was to tell stackline that a set of overlapping windows belong to a same stack. I tried 2 methods but in vain:

1. Use hammerspoon's built-in tools to query windows (which makes stackline completely independent from yabai)
2. Query windows configs from yabai (which is running in float mode so stack-index will not be set)

For me it shows the stackline but with only a single icon. I'm unsure if it's an issue with Monterey? Either way, here's the patch for the yabai hack if you want to give it a shot.
