# 1.7.0: Iggy 2024
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rofi 1.7.0 is another bug-fix release that also removes a lot of deprecated features. One of the biggest changes is
|
|
the removal of the (deprecated) xresources based configuration setup. With this removal, also a lot of hack-ish code has
|
|
been removed that tried to patch old config setups. While the deprecation might be frustrating for people who have not
|
|
yet converted to the new format, I hope for some understanding. Even though this move might not be popular, the
|
|
deprecation in previous releases and consequential removal of these options is needed for two reasons.
|
|
The most important one is to keep rofi maintainable and secondary to open possibility to overhaul the config system in
|
|
the future and with that fixing some long standing bugs and add new options that
|
|
where hindered by the almost 10 year old system.
|
|
|
|
Beside mostly bug-fixes and removal of deprecated options, we also improved the theming and added features to help in
|
|
some of the more 'off-script' use of rofi.
|
|
|
|
This release was made possible by many contributors, see below for a full list. Big thanks again to SardemF77 and
|
|
TonCherAmi.
|
|
|
|
## File Browser
|
|
|
|
TonCherAmi made several very nice usability improvements to the file-browser. His changes allow you to define sorting
|
|
and ordering of the entries and changing the default start directory.
|
|
|
|
These options can be set using the new 'nested' configuration format that we are testing in rofi:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
configuration {
|
|
filebrowser {
|
|
/** Directory the file browser starts in. */
|
|
directory: "/some/directory";
|
|
/**
|
|
* Sorting method. Can be set to:
|
|
* - "name"
|
|
* - "mtime" (modification time)
|
|
* - "atime" (access time)
|
|
* - "ctime" (change time)
|
|
*/
|
|
sorting-method: "name";
|
|
/** Group directories before files. */
|
|
directories-first: true;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## File Completion
|
|
|
|
## Timeout actions
|
|
|
|
You can now configure an action to be taken when rofi has not been interacted with for a certain amount of seconds.
|
|
You can specify a keybinding to trigger after X seconds.
|
|
|
|
This option can be set using the new 'nested' configuration format that we are testing in rofi:
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
configuration {
|
|
timeout {
|
|
delay: 15;
|
|
action: "kb-cancel";
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This setting will close rofi after 15 seconds of no interaction.
|
|
|
|
## Background image and gradients
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
window {
|
|
background-image: url("/tmp/i3.png", both);
|
|
}
|
|
element {
|
|
children: [element-icon, element-text];
|
|
background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, black/20%, white/20%, black/10%);
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The below screenshot shows both background image and gradients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Clickable button and icons
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
icon-paste {
|
|
expand: false;
|
|
filename: "gtk-paste";
|
|
size: 24;
|
|
vertical-align: 0.5;
|
|
action: "kb-primary-paste";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```css
|
|
button-paste {
|
|
expand: false;
|
|
content: "My Clickable Message";
|
|
vertical-align: 0.5;
|
|
action: "kb-primary-paste";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The screenshot below shows a non-squared image and clickable buttons (the close icon in the top right)
