.SH GETTING STARTED WITH THEMING
|
|
.PP
|
|
The easiest way to get started theming rofi is by modifying your existing theme.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
Themes can be modified/tweaked by adding theming elements to the end of the
|
|
.br
|
|
config file. The default location of this file is \fB\fC~/.config/rofi/config.rasi\fR,
|
|
if the file does not exists, you can create it.
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
A basic config:
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
configuration {
|
|
modes: [ combi ];

For example if we want to change the \fB\fCType to filter\fR text in the entry box we
|
|
append the following:
|
|
|
|
.PP

|
.RS
|
|
|
|
.nf
|
|
entry {
|
|
placeholder: "Type here";

.RE
|

In the above section, \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\&.

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

.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.
