#Luke's dmenu

Extra stuff added to vanilla dmenu:

  • reads Xresources (ergo pywal compatible)
  • alpha patch, which importantly allows this build to be embedded in transparent st
  • can view color characters like emoji (libxft-bgra is required for this reason)
  • -P for password mode: hide user input
  • -r to reject non-matching input
  • dmenu options are mouse clickable

#Installation

You must have libxft-bgra installed until the libxft upstream is fixed.

After making any config changes that you want, but make, sudo make install it.
