# Rofi Metro
Windows 8-like theme for Rofi
## Start Screen
A Rofi theme that mimicks Windows 8's Start screen UI.
```
rofi -show drun -theme start-screen.rasi
```
The tiles currently don't work because there isn't a script that handles their custom keyboard triggers. Pretty sure I have to write a script that functions *closely* to `drun` and use that as a modi or something.
TL;DR tiles don't work, yet.
## Charms
A Charms bar-like Rofi theme with clickable and configurable buttons to launch programs.
```
chmod +x charms.sh
sh charms.sh
```
The time also doesn't update by the minute. Somehow Rofi doesn't support dynamic/changing variables nor does it have an interval for refreshing results with inputs.
## How to install
```
git clone https://github.com/Dartegnian/rofi-metro ~/.config/rofi/rofi-metro
```
You may launch the start screen using:
```
rofi -show drun -theme ~/.config/rofi/rofi-metro/start-screen.rasi
```
Enable the charms bar by:
```
chmod +x charms.sh
```
Open the charms bar by:
```
sh ~/.config/rofi/rofi-metro/charms.sh
```
Ideally, you should have keybindings for these; or not, your choice.
## Why
I like Windows 8.
## Support for wofi/tofi?
I don't think any of these scripts supports anything other than rofi. Unless that application sports a rofi-compatible theming system, you're out of luck getting this thing to run. This package is rofi-only, but I'll make a new repo if I ever get to use anything other than rofi.
