bspwm Monitor Resizing

[nckslvrmn]

Hello,

When running the latest lemonbar in the latest bspwm with no parameters, the bspwm monitor gets modified padding values for the root of the monitor. This happens regardless of which flags you pass (including geometry). I am running arch linux in a vmware fusion and can supply the output of anything needed. Is this a known bug?

I'm not sure I understand what the problem, it might be a problem with bspwm and/or VMware.

I've been running into the same issue after upgrading bspwm from 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 on my laptop, so it might be bspwm related.
When lemonbar starts, the bottom padding changes, and has to be manually reset. I also wasn't able to reproduce this when the display is in landscape mode.

I believe was amended shortly after the 0.9.2 bspwm release
commits baskerville/bspwm@201f6e6 and baskerville/bspwm@060f6ae

edit: try launching lemonbar with the -d flag

Indeed, I wasn't able to reproduce my previous issue with a more recent bspwm build (past those 2 commits). Thanks !

Closing this then! 🎉
