I am not sure what the linter is failing for; I can't see it on my side... |
It appears that the Accessibility API requires a window’s title bar to remain visible during manipulation. As a result, stashing windows on top caused unpredictable behavior: the window would sometimes disappear entirely or remain stationary in a revealed state instead of moving into the expected peeking state. However, it would never animate between the hidden/shown state even when enabled.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Looks good! I removed the top stash action since the menu bar often interfered with it (added a comment on that commit), causing odd behavior. I also tweaked the stash action configuration window so the top/center actions are now greyed out.

This update aims to add two minor features requested by users: the ability to start up Loop without opening a window and to add stash windows to the top and bottom of the display.
A note for both: first, with Loop being hidden, if both the menu bar and the app on launch are hidden, and you're in development mode, i.e., opening it in Xcode, you will NOT be able to launch the window. You'll need to disable this before starting, or alternatively turn on the icon. If none of these are available, you can simply
defaults write com.MrKai77.Loop startHidden -bool falseRegarding window stashing, for stashing, the calculation is done, i.e., the math. If you have two window sizes, both previewing at 80%, it will remove the windows at the top and bottom. My recommendation here is to set the window width to be half of the maximum. For example, if you have two windows, instead of both being 50%, set them to 40-45% (given that both are stashed on the right-hand top and bottom of the screen).
