yabai: Disable window shadow.
$ yabai -m config window_shadow off
try on your machine

The command "yabai -m config window_shadow off" is used to disable window shadows in the Yabai window manager on macOS.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "yabai": This is the command-line executable for the Yabai window manager.
  • "-m": This flag tells Yabai to modify its configuration.
  • "config": This option specifies that we want to update the configuration settings.
  • "window_shadow": This is the specific setting we want to modify. In this case, it refers to the window shadows.
  • "off": This value indicates that we want to disable the window shadows.

By running this command, Yabai will turn off the window shadows, resulting in a more minimalistic appearance for windows managed by Yabai.
