# V1.3.0: Dan vs. Greg: The never ending story.

This release mostly focussed on cleaning up, refactoring and more. On of the big changes is that the gui is no longer
based on hard-coded positions. We introduced a widget system with boxes, scrollbars, separators, listview and textboxes.
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.

Beside this we still managed to get some new features in:

## Dynamic window size

rofi can how resize the window to fit the number of visible entries, so as you type and the list of options becomes
small, so does the windows (this is disabled by default). Rofi will try to keep the text box at the same place so you
don't have to move focus. At the bottom of the screen the window layout is reversed so the textbox is at the bottom.

## 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

On many request, the fuzzy matcher has been re-added.
