Installed but ... nothing. Just me?
Opened this issue · 2 comments
I picked up this fork from AskDifferent and was happy to find it. I'm an Ubuntu/Mint user for whom "pinning" a window to stay on top is done natively and simply.
However, having followed the install instructions, I don't seem to have any additonal "window" options. It does look as if it is installed:
and (after a re-start, just in case) I have Simba "running" in the dock and minimized. However, no application I've tried (FF, Pages, Notes, whatever) have any additonal options under the "Window" menu, nor anywhere else I can find.
Am I missing a crucial step? I'm on a MacBook (Early 2015) running Yosemite 10.10.5.
tl;dr: EasySIMBL is broken, use SIMBL instead.
Hi guys, just a quick note to say that Afloat didn't work for me on El Capitan despite the many instructions available on Afloat/EasySIMBL/SIMBL. The only thing that worked for me is disabling El Capitan's System Integrity Protection (SIP) (read from http://www.chrisvanpatten.com/master-windows-afloat-mac#comment-2299581913).
Instructions that worked for me:
- Reboot
- Hold Cmd+R while booting (Recovery mode)
- Go to Utilities menu and select Terminal
- Type
csrutil disable; reboot, your Mac will reboot normally - Open EasySIMBL and uncheck/recheck "Use SIMBL" and reboot again
Unfortunately I tried re-enabling SIP with csrutil enable; reboot after but that disabled Afloat again. So it's up to you if you wish to keep SIP or not.
