# Wayland support # Wayland support
Wayland support is enabled by default in this fork, along with X11/xcb. You can build rofi _without_ XCB, if you like:
``` ## Build
meson build -Dxcb=disabled
```
The rest of the installation process is unchanged (see [Installation](#Installation)). Please follow the [meson build instructions](INSTALL.md#meson) to build this fork, as autotools builds are not yet supported.
**Rofi** can be invoked with the same CLI and configuration and can be forced to use X11 mode with the x11 flag (unless the X11 backend was disabled in build): Wayland support is enabled by default in this fork, along with X11/xcb.
rofi can also be built _without_ XCB:
meson build -Dxcb=disabled
## Usage
**Rofi** options an configurations are compatible with this fork. It should automatically select the xcb or wayland backend depending on the environment it is run on.
To force the use of the xcb backend (if enabled during build), the `-x11` option can be used:
rofi -x11 ... rofi -x11 ...
This port to layer shell is not yet in a stable state, so expect to encounter some rough edges. That said, the core of Rofi's functionalities is present. ## Differences with rofi (in wayland mode)
Notable omissions: * native window selection mode when running under Wayland. Recommended solution: https://github.com/lbonn/i3-focus-last#menu-mode or https://sr.ht/~tsdh/swayr/
* `-normal-window` flag in Wayland mode. Though it is also considered as a toy/deprecated feature in Upstream rofi
* native window mode when running under Wayland. Recommended solution: https://github.com/lbonn/i3-focus-last#menu-mode or https://sr.ht/~tsdh/swayr/
* `-normal-window` flag in Wayland mode. Upstream rofi considers it a toy/deprecated feature AFAIK
* selecting which monitor to run rofi on in Wayland mode, rofi only shows up on the currently focused monitor * selecting which monitor to run rofi on in Wayland mode, rofi only shows up on the currently focused monitor
* some window locations parameters work partially, `x-offset` and `y-offset` are only working from screen edges * some window locations parameters work partially, `x-offset` and `y-offset` are only working from screen edges
* some X11-specific options like `-dpi` or fake transparency * some X11-specific options like `-dpi` or fake transparency
If you find something does not work and is not listed here, please open a PR.
I do not intend to make releases from this fork at the moment, but will simply try to keep it regularly in sync with the develop branch upstream.
