I added the following things to vanilla dmenu:
- Reads Xresources (so it's pywal compatible).
- Alpha patch (can be transparent).
- Number of available options over total options printed on the right side of dmenu.
- Emoji support !
libxft-bgrarequired. -Pfor password mode: hide user input.-rto reject non-matching input.-cto center dmenu.-mwto set the width of centered dmenu.-bwto set border width of centered dmenu.
You must have libxft-bgra installed until the libxft upstream is fixed.
Modify the config as you want, and then make, sudo make install it.
