What is Rofi?

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.

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

# Add directory to the $PATH variable
echo "PATH=$PATH:~/.config/rofi/scripts" >> ~/.profile

In zsh (oh-my-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.

Usage

with polybar

You can use these launchers, powermenus or applets with polybar by simply adding a module like that:

;; 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

with i3wm

You can also use them with the keybindings on your window manager, For example:

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 Openbox

Same thing can be done with openbox by adding these lines to rc.xml file:

  <keyboard>
    <keybind key="W-p">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>launcher_t3</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <keybind key="W-x">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>~/.config/rofi/powermenu/type-3/powermenu.sh</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
  </keyboard>

Pywal Support

To use pywal colorschemes : Edit ~/.config/rofi/launchers/type-X/shared/colors.rasi file and edit the following line to use the color-scheme you like.
