# Convert old themes to the new format
**Rofi** 1.4 can still read in and convert the old theme format. To read the old format, convert it, and dump it into a
new file run:
```bash
rofi -config {old theme} -dump-theme > new_theme.rasi
```
This gives a very basic theme, with the colors from the old theme.
You can preview the theme using:
```bash
rofi -theme new_theme.rasi -show run
```
> Note: support for named colors has been dropped.

# Theme format 3.0
The way rofi handled widgets has changed in the last few releases. Widgets are now
put into containers, allowing themes to be much more flexible than before.
To expose these new theming abilities a new theming format has been created, replacing the old one.
It is loosely based on [css](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets), a format
widely known, which allows e.g. web developers to create their own rofi themes without learning
a new markup.
This file is split up into 3 sections:
1. Specification of the file format
2. List of possible options
3. Examples
## File Format Specification
### Encoding
The encoding of the file is utf-8. Both unix (`\n`) and windows (`\r\n`)
newlines format are supported. But unix is preferred.
### Comments
C and C++ file comments are support.
* Anything after `// ` and before a newline is considered a comment.
* Everything between `/*` and `*/` is a comment.
Comments can be nested and the C comments can be inline.
The following is valid:
```css
// Magic comment.
property: /* comment */ value;
```
However this is not:
```css
prop/*comment*/erty: value;
```
### White space
White space and newlines, like comments, are ignored by the parser.
This:
```css
property: name;
```
Is identical to:
```css
property :
name
;
```
### File extension
The preferred file extension for the new theme format is **rasi**. This is an
abbreviation for **r**ofi **a**dvanced **s**tyle **i**nformation.
### Basic Structure
Each element has a section with defined properties. Properties can be inherited
to sub-sections. Global properties can be defined in section `* { }`.
Sub-section names begin with a hash symbol `#`.
It is advised to define the *global properties section* on top of the file to
make inheritance of properties clearer.
```
/* Global properties section */
* {
// list of properties
}
/* Element theme section. */
#{element path} {
// list of properties
}
#{elements... } {
// list of properties
}
```
#### Global properties section
A theme can have one or more global properties sections (If there is more than one
they will be merged)
The global properties section denotes the defaults for each element.
Each property of this section can be referenced with `@{identifier}`
(See Properties section)
#### Element theme section
A theme can have multiple element theme sections.
The element path can consist of multiple names separated by whitespace or dots.
Each element may contain any number of letters, numbers and '-'.
The first element should always start with a `#`.
This is a valid element name:
```css
#window mainbox listview element normal.normal {
}
```
And is identical to:
```css
#window.mainbox.listview.element normal.normal {
}
```
Each section inherits the properties of its parents. Inherited properties
can be overridden by defining them again in the section itself.
So `#window mainbox` will contain all properties of `#window` and `#window
mainbox`.
In the following example:
```css
#window {
a: 1;
b: 2;
}
#window mainbox {
b: 4;
c: 8;
}
```
The element `#window mainbox` will have the following set of properties:
```css
a: 1;
b: 4;
c: 8;
```
If multiple sections are defined with the same name, they are merged by the
parser. If multiple properties with the same name are defined in one section,
the last encountered property is used.
#### Properties
The properties in a section consist of:
```css
{identifier}: {value};
```
Both fields are manditory for a property.
The `identifier` names the specified property. Identifiers can consist of any
combination of numbers, letters and '-'. It must not contain any whitespace.
The structure of the `value` defines the type of the property.
The current theme format support different type:
* a string.
* an integer number.
* a fractional number.
* a boolean value.
* a color.
* text style.
* *line style*.
* a distance.
* a padding.
* a border.
* a position.
* a reference.
Some of these types are a combination of other types.
##### String
* Format: `"[:print:]+"`
A string is always surrounded by quotes ('"'), between the quotes it can have any printable character.
For example:
```css
font: "Awasome 12";
```
###### Integer
* Format: `[-+]?[:digit:]+`
An integer may contain any number.
For examples:
```css
lines: 12;
```
##### Real
* Format: `[-+]?[:digit:]+(\.[:digit:]+)?`
A real is an integer with an optional fraction.
For example:
```css
real: 3.4;
```
The following is not valid: `.3`, `3.` or scientific notation: `3.4e-3`.
##### Boolean
* Format: `(true|false)`
Boolean value is either `true` or `false`. This is case-sensitive.
For example:
```css
dynamic: false;
```
##### Color
* Format: `#{HEX}{6}`
* Format: `#{HEX}{8}`
* Format: `rgb({INTEGER},{INTEGER},{INTEGER})`
* Format: `rgba({INTEGER},{INTEGER},{INTEGER}, {REAL})`
Where '{HEX}' is a hexidecimal number ('0-9a-f'). The '{INTEGER}' value can be between 0 and 255, the '{Real}' value
between 0.0 and 1.0.
The first formats specify the color as RRGGBB (R = red, G = green, B = Blue), the second adds an alpha (A) channel:
AARRGGBB.
For example:
```css
background: #FF0000;
foreground: rgba(0,0,1, 0.5);
```
##### Text style
* Format: `(bold|italic|underline|none)`
Text style indicates how the text should be displayed. None indicates no style
should be applied.
##### Line style
* Format: `(dash|solid)`
Indicates how a line should be drawn.
It currently supports:
* `dash`: A dashed line. Where the gap is the same width as the dash.
* `solid`: A solid line.
##### Distance
* Format: `{Integer}px`
* Format: `{Real}em`
* Format: `{Real}%`
A distance can be specified in 3 different units:
* `px`: Screen pixels.
* `em`: Relative to text width.
* `%`: Percentage of the **monitor** size.
Distances used in the horizontal direction use the monitor width. Distances in
the vertical direction use the monitor height.
For example:
```css
padding: 10%;
```
On a full-hd (1920x1080) monitor defines a padding of 192 pixels on the left
and right side and 108 pixels on the top and bottom.
##### Padding
* Format: `{Integer}`
* Format: `{Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance} {Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance} {Distance} {Distance}`
If no unit is set, pixels are used.
The different number of fields in the formats are parsed like:
* 1 field: `all`
* 2 fields: `top&bottom` `left&right`
* 3 fields: `top`, `left&right`, `bottom`
* 4 fields: `top`, `right`, `bottom`, `left`
###### Border
* Format: `{Integer}`
* Format: `{Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance} {Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Distance} {Distance} {Distance}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Line style}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style}`
* Format: `{Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style} {Distance} {Line style}`
Border are identical to padding, except that each distance field has a line
style property.
###### Position
* Format: `(center|east|north|west|northeast|northweast|south|southwest|southeast)`
###### Reference
* Format: `@{PROPERTY NAME}`
A reference can point to another reference. Currently the maximum number of redirects is 20.
A property always refers to another property. It cannot be used for a subpart of the property.
e.g. this is not valid:
```css
highlight: bold @pink;
```
## Elements Paths
Element paths exists of two parts, the first part refers to the actual widget by name.
Some widgets have an extra state.
For example:
```css
#window mainbox listview element .selected {
}
```
Here `#window mainbox listview element` is the name of the widget, `selected` is the state of the widget.
The difference between dots and spaces is purely cosmetic. These are all the same:
```css
#window mainbox listview element .selected {
}
#window.mainbox.listview.element.selected {
}
#window mainbox listview element selected {
}
```
### Name
The current widgets exist in **rofi**:
* `#window`
* `#window.box`: The container holding the window.
* `#window.overlay`: The overlay widget.
* `#window.mainbox`
* `#window.mainbox.box`: The main vertical @box
* `#window.mainbox.inputbar`
* `#window.mainbox.inputbar.box`: The horizontal @box packing the widgets.
* `#window.mainbox.inputbar.case-indicator`: The case/sort indicator @textbox
* `#window.mainbox.inputbar.prompt`: The prompt @textbox
* `#window.mainbox.inputbar.entry`: The main entry @textbox
* `#window.mainbox.listview`
* `#window.mainbox.listview.box`: The listview container.
* `#window.mainbox.listview.scrollbar`: The listview scrollbar
* `#window.mainbox.listview.element`: The entries in the listview
* `#window.mainbox.sidebar`
* `#window.mainbox.sidebar.box`: The main horizontal @box packing the buttons.
* `#window.mainbox.sidebar.button`: The buttons @textbox for each mode.
* `#window.mainbox.message`
* `#window.mainbox.message.textbox`: The message textbox.
* `#window.mainbox.message.box`: The box containing the message.
Or in a graphical depiction:
![Structure](structure.png)
### State
State: State of widget
Optional flag(s) indicating state.
These are appended after the name or class of the widget.
`#window.mainbox.sidebar.button selected.normal { }`
`#window.mainbox.listview.element selected.urgent { }`
Currently only the entrybox and scrollbar have states:
`{visible modifier}.{state}`
Where `visible modifier` can be:
* normal: No modification.
* selected: The entry is selected/highlighted by user.
* alternate: The entry is at an alternating row. (uneven row)
Where `state` is:
* normal: No modification.
* urgent: This entry is marked urgent.
* active: This entry is marked active.
These can be mixed.
Example:
```
#name.to.textbox selected.active {
background: #003642;
foreground: #008ed4;
}
```
Sets all selected textboxes marked active to the given foreground and background color.
The scrollbar uses the `handle` state when drawing the small scrollbar handle.
This allows the colors used for drawing the handle to be set independently.

* all widgets:
* padding: padding
Padding on the inside of the widget.

# Tutorial on how to write a theme 3.0
I started this theme by picking a color scheme I wanted to use, i want for `Arthur`.
We first create an empty theme file: **arthur.rasi**
```
* {
}
```
We can preview this with `rofi -theme arthur.rasi -show run`. At this stage we see a black and white window.
![theme empty](./rofi-theme3-empty.png)
Lets add the different colors to the global properties:
```
/**
* Arthur color scheme
*/
* {
// Foreground
foreground: #ddeedd;
background: #1c1c1c;
// Black
black: #3d352a;
lightblack: #554444;
//
// Red
red: #cd5c5c;
lightred: #cc5533;
//
// Green
green: #86af80;
lightgreen: #88aa22;
//
// Yellow
yellow: #e8ae5b;
lightyellow: #ffa75d;
//
// Blue
blue: #6495ed;
lightblue: #87ceeb;
//
// Magenta
magenta: #deb887;
lightmagenta: #996600;
//
// Cyan
cyan: #b0c4de;
lightcyan: #b0c4de;
//
// White
white: #bbaa99;
lightwhite: #ddccbb;
//
// Highlights
highlight: bold #ffffff;
}
```
As shown in this example, both C and C++ style comments are allows.
We set the default foreground and background color, and add some aliases for other colors we can use.
![theme empty](./rofi-theme3-global.png)
As you can seen in the screenshot each widget takes the global background and foreground color.
We can now start adding sections to customize the layout and looks. Lets first start by placing rofi in the middle of
the screen.
```
#window {
location: center;
anchor: north;
}
```
The `location` property determines the position on the monitor, the `anchor` property sets the point on the rofi window
that stays fixed at the monitor position.
In this case the top (north) of the rofi window is at the center of the monitor.
We want to give the window, and each child, a padding of 10 pixels and a 1 pixel border.
```
#window {
location: center;
anchor: north;
padding: 10px;
border: 1px;
}
```
![theme padding border](./rofi-theme3-padbor.png)
This clearly shows how inheritance works, each child widget inherits the properties of its parents.
So if we want to only set padding and border on the window, we need to specify the window box:
```
#window {
location: center;
anchor: north;
}
#window box {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px;
foreground: @magenta;
}
```
![theme padding border box](./rofi-theme3-padbor-box.png)
This example also shows how you can override the foreground color and refer to the global property `magenta`.
Now that we have this, lets extend the example a little:
```
/**
* Arthur color scheme
*/
* {
foreground: #ddeedd;
background: #1c1c1c;
// Black
black: #3d352a;
lightblack: #554444;
//
// Red
red: #cd5c5c;
lightred: #cc5533;
//
// Green
green: #86af80;
lightgreen: #88aa22;
//
// Yellow
yellow: #e8ae5b;
lightyellow: #ffa75d;
//
// Blue
blue: #6495ed;
lightblue: #87ceeb;
//
// Magenta
magenta: #deb887;
lightmagenta: #996600;
//
// Cyan
cyan: #b0c4de;
lightcyan: #b0c4de;
//
// White
white: #bbaa99;
lightwhite: #ddccbb;
//
// Bold, Italic, Underline
highlight: bold #ffffff;
}
#window {
location: center;
anchor: north;
}
#window box {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px;
foreground: @magenta;
}
#window mainbox inputbar {
background: @lightblack;
text: @lightgreen;
padding: 4px;
}
#window mainbox inputbar box {
border: 0px 0px 2px 0px;
}
#window mainbox box {
spacing: 0.3em;
}
```
![theme extend](./rofi-theme3-extend.png)
In this example we see a few new things.
* We here specify spacing (space between the child widgets) in **em** (font
width).
* We specify border width for each side separately.
* We make the input text color green.
The current theme does not show what row is selected, so lets make those different background color.
For this we add:
```
#window mainbox listview element selected {
background: @blue;
}
```
![theme extend](./rofi-theme3-extend-selected.png)
This already gives us a usable theme.
Lets extend it, so urgent and active rows are visible:
```
#window mainbox listview element normal active {
foreground: @lightblue;
}
#window mainbox listview element normal urgent {
foreground: @lightred;
}
#window mainbox listview element alternate active {
foreground: @lightblue;
}
#window mainbox listview element alternate urgent {
foreground: @lightred;
}
```
![theme extend](./rofi-theme3-extend-colors.png)
So why does this require so many options (and we are not there yet)?
We see two times 3 properties now:
The first is the type of the row:
* normal:
* alternate: (all uneven rows)
* selected:
Then each of these can be in three states:
* normal
* urgent
* active
Idealy a full theme sets all of these options.
```
* {
foreground: #ddeedd;
background: #1c1c1c;
// Black
black: #3d352a;
lightblack: #554444;
//
// Red
red: #cd5c5c;
lightred: #cc5533;
//
// Green
green: #86af80;
lightgreen: #88aa22;
//
// Yellow
yellow: #e8ae5b;
lightyellow: #ffa75d;
//
// Blue
blue: #6495ed;
lightblue: #87ceeb;
//
// Magenta
magenta: #deb887;
lightmagenta: #996600;
//
// Cyan
cyan: #b0c4de;
lightcyan: #b0c4de;
//
// White
white: #bbaa99;
lightwhite: #ddccbb;
//
// Bold, Italic, Underline
highlight: bold #ffffff;
}
#window {
location: center;
anchor: north;
}
#window box {
padding: 10px;
border: 1px;
foreground: @magenta;
}
#window mainbox inputbar {
background: @lightblack;
text: @lightgreen;
padding: 4px;
}
#window mainbox inputbar box {
border: 0px 0px 2px 0px;
}
#window mainbox box {
spacing: 0.3em;
}
#window mainbox listview element selected normal {
background: @blue;
}
#window mainbox listview element normal active {
foreground: @lightblue;
}
#window mainbox listview element normal urgent {
foreground: @lightred;
}
#window mainbox listview element alternate normal {
}
#window mainbox listview element alternate active {
foreground: @lightblue;
}
#window mainbox listview element alternate urgent {
foreground: @lightred;
}
#window mainbox listview element selected active {
background: @lightblue;
foreground: @background;
}
#window mainbox listview element selected urgent {
background: @lightred;
foreground: @background;
}
#window mainbox listview element normal normal {
}
```
Note here, empty sections, because we want them to inherit from their parents, can be left out.
This is a first quick tutorial into writing a theme.
There are a lot more options that can be tweaked.
For this see the full *TODO* theme specification.
## Advanced
To make the theme transparent, more care had to be taken. Because every widget renders over the underlying widget (with
it transparency value). You cannot just set one background color as main property.
This would result in:
![rofi](rofi-theme3-transparent.png)
There is an easy way to fix this. Set the default background to be fully transparent:
```css
* {
background: rgba(0,0,0,0);
}
```
Now every widget without an explicit background, is going to be transparent.
We can then set the background of the window to the desired transparent color:
```css
#window box {
background: #881c1c1c;
}
```
This looks a lot nicer:
![rofi](rofi-theme3-transparent-fixed.png)
Now by updating the remaining backgrounds you can tweak the theme to have a nice overall look.
