A cute loading screen electron app for komorebi. I made this so that my system can kind of wait for komorebi to finish launching before I get started.

• Retries launching up to 8 times if Komorebi lied and didn't start up.
• Has success / error screens
• Builds into a nice little executable
• Has logs (kinda)
• Cute

It says "Bienvenue {Your OS username}" by default once it starts. You can customize this by editing the configuration file at:

%APPDATA%/komorebi-loading/config.json

You can just use the command from open_config.bat or open_config.ps1 to open it up.

You can configure additional Komorebi launch options directly in your config.json file with these fields.

Relevant fields:

{
	"launch_options": {

		// Start komorebi bar
		"bar": true, 
	
	 	// Start the windows hotkey daemon (whkd)
		"whkd": true, 
	
		// Start focus-follows-mouse daemon (masir)
		"masir": true,
	
		// Whether or not to start fresh instead of using the previous dumped state temp file.
		"clean_state": false,
	
	 	// Wait for 'komorebic complete-configuration' to be sent before processing events
		"await_configuration": false,
	
		// Start a TCP server on the given port to allow the direct sending of SocketMessages
		"tcp_port": null, 
	
		// Path to a static komorebi configuration JSON file
		"config_file_path": null, 
	
		// Whether or not to show this app in the taskbar when it's active, shows by default.
		"skipTaskbar": false 

	},

	"custom_args": [
		// I wouldn't put anything here unless there's a new update to the launch config
		// that the current one doesn't cover.
		// eg. "--ahk"
	]

}

Use this command in the directory to install dependencies

npm install

Use this command in the directory to run the program

npm start
# or
electron .

Use the following command in the directory to build a binary for your system.

npx @electron/packager . komorebi-loading --out=dist --icon=assets/cat.ico --overwrite

You will need to make komorebi ignore this application, so it's advised to set this rule in your komorebi.json file first.

"ignore_rules": [{
    "kind": "Title",
    "id": "WaitForMeKomorebi",
    "matching_strategy": "Contains"
}],
