#+TITLE: dmenu - dynamic menu  for X

* Introduction
This is my personnal build of *[[https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/][dmenu]]*,
a simple dynamic menu for X which sucks less. I've applied some patches.

* Depedencies
- A C compiler
- ~xorg~
- ~make~

* Installation
To install this build, run these commands:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell
$ git clone git://jozanleclerc.xyz/jozan/dmenu.git
$ cd dmenu
$ make
# make install clean
#+END_SRC

It is installed by default in the user ~/usr/local/bin~ directory but you can
change it to something that matches more your ~$PATH~ by editing the ~PREFIX~
variable in ~config.mk~.

* Applied patches
You can find a list of patches and check what those I've applied are
doing on *dmenu*'s [[https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/][patches]] page.

Here is my list:
- /border/
- /case insensitive/
- /center/
- /fuzzyhighlight/
- /fuzzymatch/
- /line height/

* Settings
Most settings are done by editing ~config.h~ and recompiling. All settings
can also be configured via command line options, see ~man 1 dmenu~ for more
informations.

** Fonts
The default font is part of the
[[https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts][Nerd Fonts]] collection but can
be changed in ~config.h:11~.

** Colors
The colorscheme used in this build is ~gruvbox dark hard~, you can change it
at ~config.h:16~.
