## File Completion
In run and drun you can add a file argument to the executable by pressing
`Control-l` (In drun this only works, if the desktop file indicates that the
application supports this.)
In rofi 1.7.0 a long awaited patch I wrote many years ago landed into the rofi.
This patch adds some basic completion support by changing modi. Currently it
only supports chaining the FileBrowser mode. This allows you to launch an
application with a file as argument. This is currently supported in the Run
and the DRun modi by pressing the `Control-l` keybinding. For the Run mode it
will add it as first argument, in DRun it only works if the Desktop file
indicates support for this.
![completer](./complete.gif)
This is not the final implementation, I plan to extend this and make this more configurable.
This is not the final implementation, but a first investigation in how to
add/extend this feature. Ideally you can have multiple completers (including
custom ones) you can choose from.
## Timeout actions
You can now configure an action to be taken when rofi has not been interacted with for a certain amount of seconds.
You can specify a keybinding to trigger after X seconds.

## Background image and gradients
To improve theming the `background-image` property was added with support for
setting images `url()` or a gradient `linear-gradient()`.

# Changelog
* ADD: -steal-focus option.
Explicitly steal focus from from the current window and restore it on closing.
Enabling this might break the window switching mode.

action: "kb-cancel";
}
combi {
display-name: "Combi";
}
}
```
* ADD: [Config] Support for handling dynamic config options.
A quick work-around for handling old-style dynamic options. This should be resolved when all options are
converted to the new (internal) config system.
* ADD: [DRun] Add fallback icon option.
This option allows you to set a fallback icon from applications.
```css
configuration {
application_fallback_icon: "my-icon";
}

If you have an icon widget you can specify an image that exists in the theme directory.

}
```

* FIX: [DSL] Move theme reset into grammar parser from lexer.
Given how the lexer and the grammar parser interact, the reset did not happen at
the right point in the parsing process, causing unexpected behaviour.
* FIX: [Drun]: fix sorting on broken desktop files. (thanks to nick87720z)
Broken desktop files could cause a rofi crash.
* FIX: [File Browser]: Fix escaping of paths.
Fix opening files with special characters that needs to be escaped.
* FIX: [ListView] Fix wrong subwidget name.
Fixes theming of `element-index`.
* FIX: [Script] Don't enable custom keybindings by default.
The quick switch between modi was broken when on a script mode. This now by default works,
unless the mode overrides this.
* FIX: [TextBox] Fix height estimation.
This should fix themes that mix differently sized fonts.
* FIX: [Theme] widget state and inherited properties. This should help fixing some old themes with changes from 1.6.1.
An old pre-1.6.1 rasi theme should work with the following section added:
```css
element-text {
background-color: inherit;
text-color: inherit;
}
```
