@kobaian @Melber It looks like we could include those "display-" settings in the default config.rasi without disturbing any other theme. Could we? Should we?

I have solved the problem for myself putting in my config.rasi the two following lines:

Code: Select all

@import "display0.rasi"
//@import "display1.rasi"

That are links to separate files in my ~/.config/rofi folder.

display0.rasi stands for the replacement of the default tab-names with icons:

Code: Select all

configuration {
	display-drun:    "";
	display-run:     "";
	display-window:  "";
	display-filebrowser: "";
	display-keys: "";
	display-help:   "";
	display-ssh: "";
	display-calc:   ""; 
}

display1.rasi stands for the replacement of the default tab-names with icons + newbie-friendly tab-names:

Code: Select all

configuration {
	display-drun:    " Apps";
	display-run:     " Run";
	display-window:  " Windows";
	display-filebrowser: " Files";
	display-keys: " Keys";
	display-help:   " Help";
	display-ssh: " SSH";
	display-calc:   " Calculator";
}

The last one should look ok with the horizontal-switcher themes.
If both commented, you have just default tab-names.

That's a good idea. We would be putting them into ~/.config/rofi/themes/ and adjusting your import code to match

It's one of the many-colored 'rounded-" rofi themes I found at https://github.com/newmanls/rofi-themes ... ter/themes.
The original theme is by LR-Tech (as specified in the rasi file header). All version colors are great; and the blue variant simply matches melber's mx-comfort blue.

I tried one of them and get a small black triangle at each corner even though the rounded-common.rasi has this:

Code: Select all

background-color:  transparent;

I don't see that on your capture so am wondering if it's just my system.
BTW: I did like the nord-twoline.rasi and modified it for our collection.

@Jerry3904: I have following line in ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi

Code: Select all

fake-transparency: true;

This setting enables transparency for rofi on my system, thus the round corners.
Note however, that I'm still running rofi v/1.5 --> and I kinda understand from earlier posts here, that this setting is now defunct in rofi v/1.7 ???

That's right. If you don't use a compositor like compton, you should probably uncomment the fake-transparency line.
That's why I recommend to preserve that line in default config.rasi, even if it will be switched off by default.

[Jerry3904]

I tried uncommenting the line but it made no difference

Working on @kobaian's tricky theme. Including the changes above, such a default config.rasi seems like it might work

Code: Select all

configuration {
	
modi: "drun,help:/usr/share/rofi/rofi-help";
	show-icons: true;
	icon-theme: "papirus";
	//fake-transparency: true; << in rofi 1.7 may require a compositor
	//sidebar-mode: true;
}

//// 
//for use with kobaian-menu.rasi
//@import "/themes/display0.rasi"
//@import "/themes/display1.rasi"
////
@theme "/home/jb/.config/rofi/themes/MX-comfort.rasi"
//@import "/mxrm-settings/mxrm-settings.rasi";

Notice that I changed the name of the theme so the user would have a clue. I may add an entry to the help tab with an explanation of those two options--not sure it's necessary since the user can choose one and see the effect.

@Melber I created those "display" docs and have them ATM going to /usr/share/mxrr/ . If that's OK with you, then please remember to have them installed to ~/.config/rofi/themes/ with your script.

BTW: I would think users would be quite confused since those docs now show up when the user clicks in MXRM to change themes, so maybe we could just exclude them somehow?

@Jerry3904

How exactly are the files named? I would copy them into the themes/mxrm-settings subfolder, where they get hidden them from the theme list.

PS. Think I've got the script working to automatically comment/uncomment the @import display0 line. Not sure how to tackle the second display1 option atm.
