Rofi 1.7.0.1 breaking the conf

[Loxeno]

Hi,

I would like to know if you have any problem with rofi 1.7 ?

I get a blank dmenu which get segmentation fault anytime a type anything to search.

By advance, thank you.

I have some issues with 1.7 as well. I just use 1.6 for now.

Hey @Loxeno,
thanks for the report.
Yes I'm having the same problem (currently on Rofi 1.7): wrong theme and segmentation fault .

I haven't identified the cause yet, probably the multiple imports that I do along side with some changes done in 1.7.
I'll investigate to see if it's a problem on my end or a bug introduced with Rofi 1.7

I've read the release notes more carefully: the way themes get loaded has been changed.

In the meanwhile that I'll rework the themes, here is a temporary solution:

1. Don't launch rofi with the -theme option but with -theme-str option.
   In your i3 config, replace the rofi stuff with this

bindsym $mod+a                           exec rofi -show combi -combi-modi "drun#window" -modi "combi#drun" -theme-str '@import $rofi_theme_drun' -no-default-config
bindsym $mod+Ctrl+a                      exec rofi -show combi -theme-str '@import $rofi_theme_combi' -no-default-config
bindsym $mod+Tab                         exec rofi -modi "window#windowcd" -show window -theme-str '@import $rofi_theme_windowSwitcher' -no-default-config
bindsym $mod+Shift+Tab                   exec rofi -show "filebrowser" -theme-str '@import $rofi_theme_fileBrowser' -no-default-config
bindsym $mod+c                           exec rofi -show calc -modi calc -no-show-match -no-sort -calc-command "echo -n '{result}' | xclip -selection clipboard -i" -theme-str '@import $rofi_theme_calc' -no-default-config

2. Rename file-browser modi to filebrowser
   Inside your config.rasi, use this

modi: [combi, drun, filebrowser, window, run, windowcd, ssh, calc, keys] ;

3. To fix white elements, append this to your config.rasi

element-text,
element-icon {
	background-color: transparent;
	text-color: inherit;
}

Hi,

I confirm that this is working, thank you for your help :)

Do I close this issue now or after your changes ?

Best regards,
Jonathan

hey,

happy that it works :)

I'd keep the issue open until I update the theme, somebody may also need this temp fix
