NAME

       wofi - A rofi inspired launcher for wlroots compositors

SYNOPSIS

       wofi [options]

DESCRIPTION

       wofi  is a rofi inspired menu program for wlroots compositors such as sway. It is intended
       to be highly customizable and flexible with the help of CSS styling and a dmenu mode  that
       allows for endless scriptability. Wofi can be run cacheless in dmenu mode automatically by
       invoking it as dmenu with symlink.

       Wofi was designed specifically for wlroots and makes use of the wlr-layer-shell  protocol.
       If  your  compositor  does  not  support  this  protocol  or  if  you are in a non-wayland
       environment then wofi must be run with --normal-window or it will crash. If  you  wish  to
       run  wofi  this  way  you  can  also place normal_window=true in your config file to avoid
       specifying the option on the command line.

CONFIGURATION

       Wofi has 3 main files used for configuration. All files are completely optional.

       1.  The config file which defaults to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wofi/config.

       2.  The CSS file which defaults to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wofi/style.css.

       3.  The colors file which defaults to the pywal cache $XDG_CACHE_HOME/wal/colors.

       All  3 of these paths can be manually specified using the respective command line flag. In
       the case of the last 2 they can additionally be specified in the config file.

       In the event $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not  specified  it  defaults  to  ~/.config  likewise  if
       $XDG_CACHE_HOME is not specified it defaults to ~/.cache.

       Information about the formats for these files can be found in wofi(5).
