# 1.6.0: The Masked Launcher
|
|
|
|
More then 2 years after the 1.5.0 release and a year after 1.5.4, we present rofi 1.6.0. This release
|
|
is again focusses bug-fixing and improving the experience for themers and
|
|
script developers. The script mode has been extended with many small requested tweaks to get it more
|
|
on par with dmenu mode. For themers the listview has been made more flexible, allowing more fancy themes,
|
|
for examples mimicking Gnomes application launcher or [albert](https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert).
|
|
|
|
Big thanks to [SardemFF7](https://www.sardemff7.net/) and all the other
|
|
contributors, without their support and contributions this release would not
|
|
have been possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Script mode
|
|
|
|
Rofi now communicates some information back to the script using environment variables.
|
|
The most important one, is `ROFI_RETV`, this is equal to the return value in dmenu mode.
|
|
It can have the following values:
|
|
|
|
* **0**: Initial call of script.
|
|
* **1**: Selected an entry.
|
|
* **2**: Selected a custom entry.
|
|
* **10-28**: Custom keybinding 1-19
|
|
|
|
|
|
To fully read up on all features of script mode, there is now a `rofi-script(5)` manpage.
|
|
|
|
Some of the new features are:
|
|
|
|
* Search invisible text
|
|
* Pass extra information back on selection
|
|
* Support for a custom delimiter
|
|
* Support for dmenus no-custom option
|
|
* Detect if launched from rofi
|
|
|
|
|
|
To test some of the features:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env bash
|
|
|
|
if [ -z "${ROFI_OUTSIDE}" ]
|
|
then
|
|
echo "run this script in rofi".
|
|
exit
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
echo -en "\x00no-custom\x1ftrue\n"
|
|
echo -en "${ROFI_RETV}\x00icon\x1ffirefox\x1finfo\x1ftest\n"
|
|
|
|
if [ -n "${ROFI_INFO}" ]
|
|
then
|
|
echo "my info: ${ROFI_INFO} "
|
|
fi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Theme
|
|
|
|
There have been a set of tweaks to the theme format, making it more flexible and hopefully more themer-friendly.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Listview flexibility
|
|
|
|
This is one of the biggest change, instead of the listview having a hacked
|
|
textbox as elements. It now re-uses existing widgets like box, icon and
|
|
textbox. This way you can re-structure how it looks. For example put the icon
|
|
above the text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With theme:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
element {
|
|
orientation: vertical;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will make the box `element` put `element-icon` and `element-text` in a vertical list.
|
|
|
|
or change the ordering to show icon on the right:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
element {
|
|
children: [element-text, element-icon];
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This causes a breaking change for themes, to modify the highlighting, this should be set to `element-text`.
|
|
Or inherited. `element-text { highlight: inherit; }`.
|
|
|
|
### Calculation support in theme format.
|
|
|
|
Rofi adds CSS like calculations in the CSS format for distances.
|
|
You can now set the width of the window to the screen width minus a 10 pixels.
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
window {
|
|
width: calc(100% - 10px);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It supports: `-`, `+`, `/`, `*` and `%` operators and they should be surrounded by whitespace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Initial media support
|
|
|
|
This is a very initial implementation of CSS like `@media` support. This allows you to modify the theme
|
|
based on screen size or ratio.
|
|
|
|
We currently support: minimum width, minimum height, maximum width, maximum
|
|
height, monitor id, minimum aspect ratio or maximum aspect ratio.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, go to fullscreen mode on screens smaller then full HD:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@media (max-width: 1920 ) {
|
|
window {
|
|
fullscreen: true;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
