Rofi#

A window switcher, application launcher and dmenu replacement

Installation#

I am still on Ubuntu 20.04, so I only get version 1.5.4

apt install rofi

xfce4 shortcut#

Super+f results in

rofi -show combi -combi-modes "window,run,combi" -modes combi

Themes#

To step through a list of themes:

for theme in $(ls /usr/share/rofi/themes/*.rasi | xargs -L1 basename -s.rasi); do
  echo $theme
  rofi -show combi -combi-modes "window,run,combi" -modi combi -theme $theme
done

Double checking my favourites:

favs="
DarkBlue
gruvbox-dark-hard
Monokai
Pop-Dark
"

for theme in $favs; do
  echo $theme
  rofi -show combi -combi-modes "window,run,combi" -modi combi -theme $theme
done

My choice:

gruvbox-dark-hard

Config#

mkdir -p ~/.config/rofi
rofi -dump-config > ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi
