dmenu is an efficient dynamic menu for X.
In order to build dmenu you need Xlib header files.
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/dusnm/dmenu.git
Edit config.mk to match your local setup (dmenu is installed into the /usr/local namespace by default). Afterwards enter the following command to build and install dmenu (if necessary as root):
make clean install
- border
- center
- line height
- xresources
- numbers
- Different default colors
- Center and run the dmenu_run script in list mode by default
- Commented out the fix that doesn't allow color fonts (A fix for the libxft bug is available in the AUR)
