    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?

  • Wayland native desktop launcher with password-store support?
    3 projects | /r/swaywm | 13 Feb 2022
    rofi has a native wayland port ( https://github.com/lbonn/rofi ) and the -dmenu option emulate dmenu's behaviour, is there a specific reason why you don't want to use it ?
    3 projects | /r/swaywm | 13 Feb 2022
    well you're in luck then, wofi uses GTK but rofi does not 👍 It is also quite customizable so you can make it look pretty much however you want, and there is already a dmenu theme ( https://github.com/lbonn/rofi/blob/wayland/themes/dmenu.rasi ) And finally, if you create a link to the rofi binary called dmenu - depending on you distro this migh even be done by your packet manager, you'll get a drop in replacement for dmenu so programs don't have to explicitly support rofi. (You might want to tweak the dmenu theme a little though, when I tried it, the colours were a bit odd)
