Rofi
Rofi is a window switcher, run dialog, ssh-launcher and dmenu replacement that started as a clone of simpleswitcher, written by Sean Pringle and later expanded by Dave Davenport.
Configuration
There are two methods of setting configuration options:
- Local configuration. Normally, depending on XDG, in
~/.config/rofi/config.rasi. - Command line options:
rofi -combi-modi window,drun,ssh -theme solarized -font "hack 10" -show combi
can be expressed in a configuration file like this:
configuration {
modi: "window,drun,ssh,combi";
font: "hack 10";
combi-modi: "window,drun,ssh";
}
@theme "solarized"
To get a full list of options for config.rasi file run rofi -dump-config or rofi -h. You can write the output of the command directly to your configuration file while running rofi -dump-config > ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi.
Themes
The easiest way to get started theming rofi is by modifying your existing theme.
Themes can be modified/tweaked by adding theming elements to the end of the
config file. The default location of this file is ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi, if the file does not exists, you can create it.
A basic config:
configuration {
modes: [ combi ];
combi-modes: [ window, drun, run ];
}
@theme "gruvbox-light"
/* Insert theme modifications after this */
For example if we want to change the Type to filter text in the entry box we append the following:
entry {
placeholder: "Type here";
}
In the above section, entry indicates the widget, placeholder is the property we want to modify and we set it to the string "Type here".
