What is Rofi?

Rofi is A window switcher, Application launcher and dmenu replacement. Rofi started as a clone of simpleswitcher and It has been extended with extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher, and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool. Rofi, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options where one or more can be selected. This can either be running an application, selecting a window, or options provided by an external script.

What the installer does

[*] Installing fonts system wide...
[*] Updating font cache...
[*] Creating a backup of your rofi configs...
[*] Installing rofi configs...
[*] Updating /etc/skel with new rofi configuration...

Tips

Simple way to execute scripts

After installation, all launchers and powermenus are available system-wide as executable commands.
You can run any launcher or powermenu simply by calling:

• launcher_t1 through launcher_t7
• powermenu_t1 through powermenu_t6

Each command opens the corresponding launcher, applet, or powermenu directly, without any additional configuration.

Usage

with polybar

You can integrate the launchers and powermenus into polybar by defining modules like:

;; Application Launcher Module
[module/launcher]
type = custom/text

content = 異
content-background = black
content-foreground = green

click-left = launcher_t1
click-right = launcher_t1

;; Power Menu Module
[module/powermenu]
type = custom/text

content = 襤
content-background = black
content-foreground = red

click-left = powermenu_t1
click-right = powermenu_t1

with i3wm

You can bind them directly in your i3wm configuration. For example:

set $mod Mod4

bindsym $mod+p exec --no-startup-id launcher_t2
bindsym $mod+x exec --no-startup-id powermenu_t2

with Openbox

You can also use them in Openbox by adding entries to your rc.xml:

  <keyboard>
    <keybind key="W-p">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>launcher_t3</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-x">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>powermenu_t3</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
  </keyboard>

with awesome-wm

Because the commands are available system-wide, they can be used easily in awesome-wm as well.
Add keybindings like the following to your rc.lua:

awful.key({ modkey }, "r", function()
    awful.spawn('launcher_t3')
end,
{description = 'Program Launcher', group = 'awesome'}),

awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "q", function()
    awful.spawn("powermenu_t1")
end,
{description = "Sign Out/Power Options", group = "awesome"}),

FYI

• For previous versions, check the respective branch, 1.7.0 is the most recent branch.
• These themes are created on a display with 1920x1080 resolution. Everything should work fine on your display as well, except fullscreen themes. So Adjust the margin and padding by yourself.
• The purpose of this repository is to provide you a complete (almost) reference. So by using the files as reference, You can theme rofi by yourself.
