Please describe the change / addition you'd like to see made
Is this completely new functionality, or an enhancement to existing functionality? Enhancement to existing functionality.
What kind of feature is it that you are requesting?
A custom extension
Problem
I personally use the dmenu-rs port of dmenu. The plugin system is better than old-school patching. The problem is the flags are slightly different.
For example the following flags [ -nb, -nf, -sb, and -fn] use a single dash in Suckless dmenu,
but use a double dash in dmenu-rs, which will cause it to not to launch. Also the ability to use a custom font
in dmenu with the fn flag would be nice as to match the bar, and the -b flag would be nice to allow users to place dmenu on the bottom of their screen.
Proposal
Instead of implementing a new DMenuConfigRS extension, modify the current DMenuConfig struct
to account for these changes. I have already implemented all of this functionality and also changed the DMenu API slightly to be a bit more readable and make a clear distinction between launching dmenu via dmenu_run, or launching a menu based dmenu.
