I3 rofi default theme question

Desktop Environments All WMs
1

Does anyone know where the default theme for rofi is being pulled from? I want to adjust the color and transparency values.

2

/usr/share/rofi/themes

Just run this: find ./ -iname "*.rasi" to see where its stored.
The command should be find / -iname "*.rasi"

Edit: More info, just in case needed:

On my system, the default theme for rofi was “Arc by Sergio Morales”

Themes can be previewed with command rofi-theme-selector

Hi @flyingcakes

I know where the .rasi files are located. It is just that none of them are the default. I swear I came across it last night I just can’t remember where. I remember a line that basically said color @arc-dark.rasi. I will have a look at “Arc by Sergio Morales”.rasi.

Could please you post a screenshot how your rofi currently looks like?

Arc dark is an official theme in rofi. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi-themes/blob/master/Official%20Themes/Arc-Dark.rasi

Under rofi-theme-selector there is one theme called “Arc dark by leofa”.

Maybe thats the one.

Edit:
The first few lines from the Github link I posted

/************************************************

  • ROFI Color theme
  • User: leofa
  • Copyright: 2017 leofa
    ***********************************************/

So “Arc Dark by leofa” should be the one you need to modify.

If I’m not mistaken then this is the default theme that comes with EnOS theming of i3wm.

See line 137 here: https://github.com/endeavouros-team/i3-EndeavourOS/blob/master/.config/i3/config#L317

Just confirm once if this is the one you’re using on your system

Yes that is what I have in i3 config.

That one is based off the theme called “android_notification by Rasi”
(I deduced by applying each theme and comparing with your screenshot)

My head is a mess and I gotta go to a doctor to check if I’m color blind.

You have to be :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: kidding me… :man_facepalming:

Let me have a look.

If its not then my messy configs and home folder are to blame. :sweat_smile:

@BONK

This time I’m 99.99% sure I’ve spotted the theme you’re using. Its defined in your .Xresources file

I didn’t suspect it would be defined here, because I usually don’t touch Xresources.

It looks like it is using parts of different rasi’s to make a custom rasi.

from i3 config:

# rofi bindings fancy application menu
bindsym $mod+i exec rofi -modi drun -show drun -line-padding 4 \
                -columns 2 -padding 50 -hide-scrollbar \
                -show-icons -drun-icon-theme "Arc-X-D" -font "Droid Sans Regular 10"

In the experimentation process, I managed to scramble by rofi config. It looks weird now

At this point, I want to do sudo rm / -rf and start all over again :laughing:
