.SH GETTING STARTED
|

.PP
|
|
The easiest way to get started theming rofi is by modifying your existing theme.
|
|
Themes can be modified/tweaked by adding theming elements to the end of your
|
|
config file. The default location of this file is \fB\fC~/.config/rofi/config.ras\fR,
|
|
if the file does not exists, you can create it.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
For example if we want to change the \fB\fCType to filter\fR text in the entry box:
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
entry {
|
|
placeholder: "Type here";
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
.fi
|
|
.RE
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
In the above statement, \fB\fCentry\fR indicates the widget, \fB\fCplaceholder\fR is the
|
|
property we want to modify and we set it to the string \fB\fC"Type here"\fR\&.
|
|
To find the commonly available widgets in rofi, see the 'Basic structure' section.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
To change the mouse over cursor to a pointer, add:
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
entry {
|
|
placeholder: "Type here";

cursor: pointer;

For the next modification, we want to add the icon after each text element and
|
|
increase the size. First we start by modifying the \fB\fCelement\fR widget:

|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
element {
|
|

children: [ element-text, element-icon ];
|
|
spacing: 5px;
|
|
}

The \fB\fCelement\fR (container) widget hold each entry in the \fB\fClistview\fR, we add the two

pre-defined children in the order we want to show them.

We also specify the packing direction (\fB\fCorientation\fR) and the spacing between the children (\fB\fCspacing\fR).

We specify the space between the two children in absolute pixels (\fB\fCpx\fR).

we used a named color, for \fB\fCbackground-color\fR we specify it in \fB\fCrgb\fR\&.

The default configuration contains:

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The need for a new theme format was motivated by the fact that the way rofi handled widgets has changed. From a very
|
|
static drawing of lines and text to a nice structured form of packing widgets. This change made it possible to provide a
|
|
more flexible theme framework. The old theme format and config file are not flexible enough to expose these options in a
|
|
user-friendly way. Therefore, a new file format has been created, replacing the old one.
|
|
|
|
.SH FORMAT SPECIFICATION
|
|
.SH Encoding
|
|
.PP
|
|
The encoding of the file is UTF-8. Both unix (\fB\fC\\n\fR) and windows (\fB\fC\\r\\n\fR) newlines format are supported. But unix is
|
|
preferred.
|
|
|

.SH Comments
|
|
.PP
|
|
C and C++ file comments are supported.
|
|
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
Anything after \fB\fC//\fR and before a newline is considered a comment.
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|

Everything between \fB\fC/*\fR and \fB\fC*/\fR is a comment, this comment can span multiple lines.

The box model allows us to add a border around elements, and to define space between elements.

The size of each margin, border, and padding can be set.

For the border, a linestyle and radius can be set.

Widgets that can pack more then one child widget (currently box and listview) have the \fB\fCspacing\fR property.

This property sets the distance between the packed widgets (both horizontally and vertically).

If both dummy widgets are set to expand, \fB\fCchild\fR will be centered. Depending on the \fB\fCexpand\fR flag of child the

remaining space will be equally divided between both dummy and child widget (expand enabled), or both dummy widgets
