Hiding the tabline on my start screen about barbar.nvim

[alyzmal]

That is exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much for your help!

The exclude_ft option combined with auto_hide should be able to accomplish this.

Alternatively the FileType autocommand with :BarbarDisable

I'm struggling to figure out how the first option should be phrased. If it's not too much, could I ask for a snippet demonstrating what you mean?

With auto_hide = 0, you can set exclude_ft = {'<FILETYPE>'} where <FILETYPE> is the output of :echo &ft while inside the start screen you use. This should make the tabline:

1. Disable when there are no visible buffers or tabs, and
2. Not show the start screen (i.e. it is not visible)
