## API
Rofi calls the executable without arguments on startup. This should generate a
list of options, separated by a newline (`\n`) (This can be changed by the
script). If the user selects an option, rofi calls the executable with the text
of that option as the first argument. If the script returns no entries, rofi
quits.

* **use-hot-keys**: If set to true, it enabled the Custom keybindings for script. Warning this breaks the normal rofi flow.
* **keep-selection**: If set, the selection is not moved to the first entry, but the current position is maintained. The filter is cleared.
* **new-selection**: If `keep-selection` is set, this allows you to override the selected entry (absolute position).
* **data**: Passed data to the next execution of the script via **ROFI_DATA**.
* **theme**: Small theme snippet to f.e. change the background color of a widget.

**rofi-theme** - Rofi theme format files
## GETTING STARTED WITH THEMING
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 the
config file. The default location of this file is `~/.config/rofi/config.rasi`,
if the file does not exists, you can create it.
A basic config:
```css
configuration {
modes: [ combi ];
combi-modes: [ window, drun, run ];
}
@theme "gruvbox-light"
/* Insert theme modifications after this */
```
For example if we want to change the `Type to filter` text in the entry box we
append the following:
```css
entry {
placeholder: "Type here";
}
```
In the above section, `entry` indicates the widget, `placeholder` is the
property we want to modify and we set it to the string `"Type here"`.
To find the commonly available widgets in rofi, see the 'Basic structure' section.
To change the mouse over cursor to a pointer, add:
```css
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 `element` widget:
```css
element {
orientation: horizontal;
children: [ element-text, element-icon ];
spacing: 5px;
}
```
Resulting in the following packing:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ element │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │
│ │element─text │ │ element─icon │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
The `element` (container) widget hold each entry in the `listview`, we add the
two pre-defined children in the order we want to show. We also specify the
packing direction (`orientation`) and the spacing between the children
(`spacing`). We specify the space between the two children in absolute pixels
(`px`).
To increase the icon-size, we need to modify the `element-icon` widget.
```css
element-icon {
size: 2.5em;
}
```
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ element │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │
│ │element─text │ │ element │ │
│ │ │ │ ─ │ │
│ │ │ │ icon │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
In this example we specify the size in the [em](https://www.w3.org/Style/LieBos3e/em) unit.
Now lets change the text color of both the `entry` and the `element-text` widget to red and background to blue.
```css
entry, element-text {
text-color: red;
background-color: rgb(0,0,255);
}
```
Here we use two different methods of writing down the color, for `text-color`
we used a named color, for `background-color` we specify it in `rgb`.
We also specify the property for multiple widgets by passing a comma separated
list of widget names.
If you want to center the text relative to the icon, we can set this:
```css
element-text {
vertical-align: 0.5;
}
```
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ element │
│ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐ ┌─────────────────┐ │
│ │ │ │ element │ │
│ │element-text │ │ ─ │ │
│ │ │ │ icon │ │
│ └─────────────────────────────────────────────┘ └─────────────────┘ │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```
We can also specify the color and width of the cursor. You could, for example,
create a crimson block cursor like this:
```css
entry {
cursor-color: rgb(220,20,60);
cursor-width: 8px;
}
```
By default, the `cursor-color` will be the same as the `text-color`. The `cursor-width` will always default to 2 pixels.
If you want to see the complete theme, including the modification you can run:
```bash
rofi -dump-theme
```
## DEFAULT THEME LOADING
By default, rofi loads the default theme. This theme is **always** loaded.
The default configuration contains:
In the default (always loaded) configuration it does:
```css

## Icon Handling
Rofi supports 3 ways of specifying an icon:
* Filename
* icon-name, this is looked up via the icon-theme.
* Markup String. It renders a string as an icon.
For the first two options, GdkPixbuf is used to open and render the icons.
This in general gives support for most required image formats.
For the string option it uses Pango to render the string. The string needs to
start with a `<span` tag, that allows you to set color and font.
Markup string:
```bash
echo -en "testing\0icon\x1f<span color='red'>⏻</span>" | ./rofi -dmenu
```
Getting supported icon formats:
```bash
G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=Helpers.IconFetcher rofi
```
This uses the debug framework and prints out a list of supported image file
extensions.

## DESCRIPTION
**rofi** is an X11 pop-up window switcher, run dialog, dmenu replacement, and
more. It focuses on being fast to use and have minimal distraction. It supports
keyboard and mouse navigation, type to filter, tokenized search and more.
**rofi** is an X11 pop-up window switcher, run dialog, dmenu replacement, and more. It focuses on
being fast to use and have minimal distraction. It supports keyboard and mouse navigation, type to
filter, tokenized search and more.
## USAGE
**rofi**'s main functionality is to assist in your workflow, allowing you to
quickly switch between windows, start applications or log into a remote machine
via `ssh`. There are different *modes* for different types of actions. **rofi**
is a standalone application and should not be integrated into scripts. For
integration into scripts it has a special mode that functions as a (drop-in)
replacement for **dmenu(1)**. See emulating dmenu below.

For integration into scripts it has a special mode that functions as a

### Running rofi
To launch **rofi** directly in a certain mode, specify a mode with `rofi -show <mode>`.
To show the `drun` dialog:
```bash
rofi -show drun
```
A very useful setup in minimalistic window managers is to combine `drun`, `run`
with `window` mode:
```bash
rofi -show combi -modes combi -combi-modes "window,drun,run"
```
In this setup it first list all open applications, then all installed
applications. So if you type firefox and hit return, it will switch to the
running firefox, or launch it when it is not running.
To show the `run` dialog:
rofi -show run
### Emulating dmenu
**rofi** can emulate **dmenu(1)** (a dynamic menu for X11) when launched with
the `-dmenu` flag.

## DEBUGGING
For more information see **rofi-debugging(5)** manpage.
To debug, it is smart to first try disabling your custom configuration:
`-no-config`
Disable parsing of configuration. This runs rofi in *stock* mode.
If you run custom C plugins, you can disable them using:
`-no-plugins`
Disables the loading of plugins.
To further debug the plugin, you can get a trace with (lots of) debug information. This debug output can be enabled for
multiple parts in rofi using the glib debug framework. Debug domains can be enabled by setting the G_MESSAGES_DEBUG
environment variable. At the time of creation of this page, the following debug domains exist:
* all: Show debug information from all domains.
* X11Helper: The X11 Helper functions.
* View: The main window view functions.
* Widgets.Box: The Box widget.
* Dialogs.DMenu: The dmenu mode.
* Dialogs.Run: The run mode.
* Dialogs.DRun: The desktop file run mode.
* Dialogs.Window: The window mode.
* Dialogs.Script: The script mode.
* Dialogs.Combi: The script mode.
* Dialogs.Ssh: The ssh mode.
* Rofi: The main application.
* Timings: Get timing output.
* Theme: Theme engine debug output. (warning lots of output).
* Widgets.Icon: The Icon widget.
* Widgets.Box: The box widget.
* Widgets.Container: The container widget.
* Widgets.Window: The window widget.
* Helpers.IconFetcher: Information about icon lookup.
