How to stack strings on top of eachother in labels/icons?

[MaquedaMarco]

Hello, I’ve been trying to create a weather plugin, and for it I need to format the text on the label.

Specifically, I want to show text on top of each other.



I’ve tried to use printf and \n, but to no avail.

Weirdly enough \t works.



This is doable as I've seen it in multiple Sketchybar configs, such as Sketchybar creator’s (dot files) and his wifi plugin using it.
There are others examples with cpu usage and calendars.

Image for reference:

This is the code I’m trying to run:


formated_text=(
  label.font="SF Pro:Bold:10.0" \
  label=$(echo "" | awk '{ printf("Hello\nWorld") }')\
  drawing=on
)

sketchybar --add item stacked_text right \
           --set stacked_text "${formated_text[@]}" \


This is how it appears in my bar:


Any help would be much appreciated.


Apologies in advance if this is trivial, quite new to all this.

@MaquedaMarco The trick is to use the y_offset property on items that you are trying to stack together. You can use it in item, background, text, image. Please refer to https://felixkratz.github.io/SketchyBar/config/items for y_offset details.
