Tips

Simple way to execute applets/menus

You can copy links from bin folder to your $PATH variable so that entering appsmenu in the terminal (or executing this command) will summon the appsmenu. you can do it by -

mkdir ~/.bin
cp -r ~/.config/rofi/bin/* ~/.bin
# Add folder to the $PATH variable
echo "PATH=$PATH:~/.bin" >> ~/.profile

Note: after doing this your $PATH variable won't be updated, so you will need to log out and then back in to be able to summon the menus this way.

Use With polybar

This is a simple example on how can you use these applets with polybar by adding modules and giving full paths of selected applet like ~/.config/rofi/scripts/backlight.sh or simply name if you followed the above method -

[module/backlight]
type = custom/text
content = 

content-background = ${color.bg}
content-foreground = ${color.cyan}

click-left = ~/.config/rofi/scripts/backlight.sh

## Or...

[module/backlight]
type = custom/text
content = 

content-background = ${color.bg}
content-foreground = ${color.green}

click-left = backlightmenu

Here's How it looks on polybar with different colorschemes for each applet...

Use With i3

You can call the scripts by giving their fulls paths like ~/.config/rofi/scripts/.sh or follow method above to call the menus in one word. Then add these lines to your i3 config file:

set $mod Mod4
set $Alt Mod1
bindsym $mod+m exec --no-startup-id mpdmenu
bindsym $mod+n exec --no-startup-id networkmenu
bindsym $mod+p exec --no-startup-id ~/.config/rofi/scripts/powermenu.sh
#etc

Use With Openbox

Same thing can be done with openbox by adding these lines to rc.xml file:

    <keybind key="W-m">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>~/.config/rofi/scripts/mpd.sh</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- Or -->
    <keybind key="W-m">
      <action name="Execute">
        <command>mpdmenu</command>
      </action>
    </keybind>
    <!-- etc -->
