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. More here...

Tips
Simple way to execute scripts
There's a $HOME/.config/rofi/bin
directory, which contains links to each script. you can execute these links to open any applet, menu, launcher or powermenu.
You can add $HOME/.config/rofi/bin
directory to your $PATH
variable so that entering powermenu
in the terminal (or executing this command) will summon the Powermenu. you can do it by -
- In
bash
# Add directory to the $PATH variable echo "PATH=$PATH:~/.config/rofi/bin" >> ~/.profile
- In
zsh
(oh-my-zsh)
# Edit .zshrc and add this line export PATH=$HOME/.config/rofi/bin:$PATH
Note: after doing this, your $PATH
variable won't be updated, so you will need to log out and then back in to be able to summon the menus this way.
Usage
With polybar
An example to use these applets with polybar by adding modules and giving full paths of selected applet, eg: ~/.config/rofi/applets/menu/backlight.sh
or simply name, eg: applet_backlight
if you followed the method above -
[module/backlight] type = custom/text content = content-background = ${color.bg} content-foreground = ${color.cyan} click-left = ~/.config/rofi/applets/menu/backlight.sh & ## Or... [module/backlight] type = custom/text content = content-background = ${color.bg} content-foreground = ${color.green} click-left = applet_backlight
With i3wm
You can call the scripts by giving full path, eg: ~/.config/rofi/bin/menu_powermenu
or follow method above to call the menu in one word. Then add these lines to your i3 config file -
set $mod Mod4 set $Alt Mod1 bindsym $mod+m exec --no-startup-id menu_mpd bindsym $mod+n exec --no-startup-id menu_network bindsym $mod+p exec --no-startup-id ~/.config/rofi/bin/menu_powermenu #etc
With Openbox
Same thing can be done with openbox by adding these lines to rc.xml file:
<keybind key="W-p"> <action name="Execute"> <command>~/.config/rofi/bin/launcher_misc</command> </action> </keybind> <!-- Or --> <keybind key="W-x"> <action name="Execute"> <command>powermenu</command> </action> </keybind> <!-- etc -->
