The boxes (vertical and horizontal) allows us to nice structure the layout and have them resize according to rules when
the window changes size.

This allowed us to make changes at run-time. In the future I hope we can use this to improve the theming. The cleanup
and refactoring is not finished and will continue for the next release.

## Theme selector
### Theme selector
To make it easier to get a good looking rofi, we included a theme-selector script and ship rofi with a set of themes.
The script allows you to preview themes, and make them the default theme.

## Fuzzy parser
### Fuzzy parser
On many request, the fuzzy matcher has been re-added:

### ASync DMENU
Rofi can read input data for dmenu asynchronous from displaying. So if you have something that takes a time to produce,
you can see the progress, already start filtering and selecting entries before it finishes.
This can be very useful when searching through large data sets.
In the below screenshot it keeps feeding rofi the content of the directory. Rofi indicates it is still receiving data by
the `loading...` text.

Async mode is not always possible, and will be disabled if not possible.
## Removals
We also removed a deprecated option, `-opacity`. Did option did full window opacity, basically it makes the whole window
and text transparent. A very ugly effect. The current argb colors in the theme allow a nice transparency, where only the
background of the window is transparent but not the text (you can still reproduce the old style in the new theme format,
by making all colors transparent).
On many request, the fuzzy matcher has been re-added.
