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

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.
