Sysmenu is a simple and efficient application launcher written in gtkmm4
You need the following dependencies:
- gtkmm-4.0
- gtk4-layer-shell
Customize config.hpp if you wish to do so.
Then to build all you need to do is run make
Mainly because i got bored lol.
But also because i disliked how the current programs i used behaved.
So instead of fixing them i created my own!
sysmenu can be configured in 2 ways
1: By changing config.h and recompiling (Suckless style)
2: Using launch arguments
arguments:
-S Hide the program on launch
-s Hide the search bar
-i Set launcher icon size
-I Set dock icon size
-m Set launcher margins
-u Show name under icon
-b Show scroll bars
-n Max name length
-p Items per row
-W Set window width
-H Set window Height
-l Disable use of layer shell
-v Prints version info
-D Set dock items ("Terminal,FileManager,WebBrowser,ect..")
-f Fullscreen
You can send signals to show/hide the window.
pkill -10 sysmenu to show.
pkill -12 sysmenu to hide.
pkill -34 sysmenu to toggle.
Warning
There is currently an issue where if you toggle visibility too quickly,
The program will crash with: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.
This issue seems to have been mostly resolved on Hyprland, However your luck
with other compositors may vary, BE WARNED!
sysmenu uses your gtk4 theme by default, However it can be also load custom css,
Just copy the included menu.css file to ~/.config/sys64/menu.css
