dmenu - dynamic menu

====================

dmenu is an efficient dynamic menu for X.

Requirements

------------

In order to build dmenu you need the Xlib header files.

Installation

------------

You must have `libxft-bgra` installed until the libxft upstream is fixed. (emoji support)

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

Running dmenu

-------------

See the man page for details.

Extra stuff added to vanilla dmenu:

- reads Xresources (ergo pywal compatible)

- alpha patch, which importantly allows this build to be embedded in transparent st

- can view color characters like emoji (libxft-bgra is required for this reason)

- `-P` for password mode: hide user imput

- `-r` to reject non-matching input

- dmenu options are mouse clickable
