cava VS rofi

pywal is used to get the colorscheme from my wallpaper for my browser and terminal. left: neovim, top right: qutebrowser, bottom right: cava

So, I use stuff like cava (audio visualizer) and btop in my Alacritty Terminal (BSPWM to run cava, i had to use terminal right and cava launches in terminal, I wanted to know whether i could run my cava or btop or any other terminal application transparent without making my whole terminal transparent.

It's acctually really simple and really useful, I usually use it to ssh tunnel to my main pc and start a VNC server to control from anywhere. You can also code in basically any programming language like you would do on a linux machine. You can use CLI tools to, for example, download yt music and play it, you can even use cava in it. You can play with netcat, use those stupid terminal programs to run tetris with sed on the terminal or more, run a server on your phone or even run lightweight desktop environment locally to run even GIMP or firefox (though it's very resource consuming and even newer phones can't handle it properly). Theres even proot-distro which allowes you to contain a basic linux distro on your phone and launch an instance of it (gui included if you want).

3) In progress: a Philco free-standing radio housing from the 40s. I'm using one of Parts Express' boombox kits for the audio, and a Pi (with a long, narrow TFT) running https://github.com/karlstav/cava where the radio frequency display used to be. This also would be a nice candidate for a solution like the one you shared.

The widget needs cava to run. Currently you can customise the size of the widget, number of bars, colour and spacing between bars. You can also stop and start the widget (via stop(), start() and toggle() commands) so the script isn't running all the time.

You'll probably like rofi.

Also, I use this script so that Rofi will show my clipboard instead of the native klipper UI (because it's far less keyboard friendly). Normally the script works great, but the script chokes whenever I `dd` an empty line or a lone `\`, putting an empty entry on my clipboard, which the wrapper than assumes means I'm at the end of the list of clipboard entries.

Which rofi you run? The original one from https://github.com/davatorium/rofi (which is Xorg base, so it has to start XWayland) or the Wayland-based fork on https://github.com/lbonn/rofi?

OS: Arch Linux WM: Qtile Panel: Qtile bar Launcher: Rofi Notification Daemon: Dunst Terminal: Alacritty Shell: Zsh Compositor: Picom File Manager: Nemo Music Player: Spotify & ncmpcpp

I like rofi (super flexible, i also use it as a custom alt-tab option in openbox) and wofi is a nice option on wayland

Modi are covered in the documentation. They set what Rofi displays in its window. You can run Rofi from a keybind, or a module in Polybar, or by using click handlers. Extremely extensible and versatile. And a shit ton of fun to theme. :)

xwinmosaic: Having tried XMonad.Actions.GridSelect in the past, I found the 2-dimensional grid more confusing than useful because you cannot intuit where it would lay things out. I find Rofi to be more usable for window switching because it prioritizes text filtering. https://github.com/davatorium/rofi
