Where Does YASB Store Its Config?

YASB status bar config, themes and logs on Windows, under the standard config home.

Last updated

YASB (Yet Another Status Bar) reads config.yaml and styles.css from a yasb folder in the user config home. Themes live in a themes subfolder. Logs collect beside them.

Porting means copying that folder and fixing machine specific paths like media players or weather keys. Keep the config in git when you tweak often.

Where YASB stores this, by platform

Windows
%USERPROFILE%\.config\yasb\config.yaml

Main YAML config plus styles.css and themes/. Edit with the bar quit or reload from the tray after saving. Logs explain most silent widget failures.

Frequently asked questions

How do I back up YASB?

Copy the whole yasb folder with the bar quit. That keeps config.yaml, styles.css and themes together. Logs stay behind.

Why did widgets vanish after editing config?

Run YASB with logging or check the logs folder for YAML errors. A bad indent silently drops widgets. Validate the file after big edits.
