you can install it from\n[this repository].\n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n\n## Usage\n\nLaunch the script with the `evemenu` command.\n\n### Appearance\n\nYou can customize the appearance with custom values for the font, the\nbackground and foreground colors.  \nThese are defined as variables in the script itself.\n\n### Actions\n\nThe most important part of the script is the dictionary containing all the\nactions that can be executed.  \nThe **values** are the routines to run and the **keys** are the names the user\nhas to type to execute the commands.\n\n```sh\n# [key]=value\ndeclare -A actions=(\n    [chatgpt]=\"firefox https://chat.openai.com/\"\n    [nightmode]=\"night_mode.sh --on\"\n    [spotify]=\"spotify\"\n)\n```\n\nWith this example, launch the script and type out (or select with the arrows)\neither *chatgpt*, *nightmode* or *spotify* and the correspondent action will be\nperformed.\n\nThe advantage of **evemenu**, compared to the standard **dmenu** utility,\nis the possibility of defining custom actions which can be applications (like\n`spotify`) or more complex commands with arguments and options (like `chatgpt`,\nopening a specific link in the browser), or even other scripts (`nightmode`).\n\n- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -\n\n## Dependencies\n\nThe only dependency is the **dmenu** utility.
