## What is Rofi?
[Rofi](https://github.com/davatorium/rofi) is A window switcher, Application launcher and dmenu replacement. Rofi started as a clone of simpleswitcher and It has been extended with extra features, like an application launcher and ssh-launcher, and can act as a drop-in dmenu replacement, making it a very versatile tool. Rofi, like dmenu, will provide the user with a textual list of options where one or more can be selected. This can either be running an application, selecting a window, or options provided by an external script.
## Installation
> **Everything here is created on rofi version : `1.7.4`**
* First, Make sure you have the same (stable) version of rofi installed.
- On Arch / Arch-based : **`sudo pacman -S rofi`**
- On Debian / Ubuntu : **`sudo apt-get install rofi`**
- On Fedora : **`sudo dnf install rofi`**
- Then, Clone this repository -
```
$ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi.git
```
- Change to cloned directory and make `setup.sh` executable -
```
$ cd rofi
$ chmod +x setup.sh
```
- Run `setup.sh` to install the configs -
```
$ ./setup.sh
[*] Installing fonts...
[*] Updating font cache...
[*] Creating a backup of your rofi configs...
[*] Installing rofi configs...
[*] Successfully Installed.
```
- That's it, These themes are now installed on your system.
> **Note** : These themes are like an ecosystem, everything here is connected with each other in some way. So... before modifying anything by your own, make sure you know what you doing.
## NixOS / Home Manager
This repository ships a [Home Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager) module that replaces `setup.sh` entirely. All theme files are installed declaratively, two commands (`rofi-launcher` and `rofi-powermenu` by default) are generated and added to your `PATH`, and every user-facing setting — color scheme, launcher style, power-menu actions, applet apps, quick links, and rofi's own config — is exposed as a typed Nix option.
### Flake setup
Add the flake as an input in your system or home-manager flake:
```nix
inputs = {
rofi-themes.url = "github:adi1090x/rofi";
# optional: keep rofi-themes on the same nixpkgs as the rest of your config
rofi-themes.inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
```
Then import the module and enable it for a user:
```nix
# inside home-manager.users. = { ... }; or a standalone HM config
imports = [ inputs.rofi-themes.homeManagerModules.default ];
programs.rofi-adi1090x.enable = true;
```
That's the minimum. Rofi, both generated command scripts, all theme files, and the bundled fonts are installed automatically.

## Tips
#### Simple way to execute scripts
There's a `$HOME/.config/rofi/scripts` directory, which contains links to each script. you can execute these links to open any type of Launcher, Applet or Powermenu.
You can add `$HOME/.config/rofi/scripts` directory to your `$PATH` variable so that entering `t7_launcher` in the terminal (or executing this command) will summon the ***type-7 launcher***. you can do it by -
- In `bash`
``` bash
# Add directory to the $PATH variable
echo "PATH=$PATH:~/.config/rofi/scripts" >> ~/.profile
```
- In `zsh` (oh-my-zsh)
``` zsh
# Edit .zshrc and add this line
export PATH=$HOME/.config/rofi/scripts:$PATH
```
> **Warning:** After changing the shell files, Logout and Login back again to update the `$PATH` environment variable.
> **Nix users:** The [Home Manager module](#nixos--home-manager) adds the configured `launcher.commandName` and `powermenu.commandName` executables directly to your `PATH` — no manual `$PATH` editing needed.
## Usage
#### with polybar
You can use these `launchers`, `powermenus` or `applets` with polybar by simply adding a **module** like that:
```ini
;; Application Launcher Module
[module/launcher]
type = custom/text
content = 異
content-background = black
content-foreground = green
click-left = ~/.config/rofi/launchers/type-1/launcher.sh
click-right = launcher_t1
;; Power Menu Module
[module/powermenu]
type = custom/text
content = 襤
content-background = black
content-foreground = red
click-left = ~/.config/rofi/powermenu/type-1/powermenu.sh
click-right = powermenu_t1
```
If you are using the **[Home Manager module](#nixos--home-manager)**, use the command names configured in `launcher.commandName` and `powermenu.commandName` (defaults: `rofi-launcher` and `rofi-powermenu`):
```ini
[module/launcher]
type = custom/text
content = 異
content-background = black
content-foreground = green
click-left = rofi-launcher
[module/powermenu]
type = custom/text
content = 襤
content-background = black
content-foreground = red
click-left = rofi-powermenu
```
#### with i3wm
You can also use them with the `keybindings` on your **window manager**, For example:
```bash
set $mod Mod4
bindsym $mod+p exec --no-startup-id ~/.config/rofi/launchers/type-2/launcher.sh
bindsym $mod+x exec --no-startup-id powermenu_t2
```
With the **[Home Manager module](#nixos--home-manager)**:
```bash
set $mod Mod4
bindsym $mod+p exec --no-startup-id rofi-launcher
bindsym $mod+x exec --no-startup-id rofi-powermenu
```
#### with Openbox
Same thing can be done with `openbox` by adding these lines to **`rc.xml`** file:
```xml
launcher_t3
~/.config/rofi/powermenu/type-3/powermenu.sh
```
With the **[Home Manager module](#nixos--home-manager)**:
```xml
rofi-launcher
rofi-powermenu
```
## FYI
- For previous versions, check the respective branch, [1.7.0](https://github.com/adi1090x/rofi/tree/1.7.0) is the most recent branch.
- These themes are created on a display with **1920x1080** resolution. Everything should work fine on your display as well, except fullscreen themes. So Adjust the **`margin`** and **`padding`** by yourself.
- The purpose of this repository is to provide you a complete (almost) reference. So by using the files as reference, You can theme rofi by yourself.
