I just discovered you in the last week. Your vids are a breath of fresh air. I've pimped out my Rofi because of you. It's now a work of art. thanks a bunch.

Thank you. In searching for rofi integrations, I stumbled upon your video. I would have never thought that it would be so easy to create my own implementation.

I would definitely watch the bash scripting tutorial! I really want to start shell scripting. Do make a video on it, mate. :)

Just yesterday (29/08/24), I switched to the Berry window manager on my Linux Mint 20.1 laptop, and I’ve been loving it so far! Your videos about ricing have been quite helpful!

4:57 You can get the live results by adding "message" in the "children" list of "mainbox". Or you can remove the "children" list altogether from "mainbox".

As an example, your .rasi file might have this after the fix:
mainbox {
children: [inputbar, message, listview];
}

Hello! Nice vid! I've succesfully installed the emoji selector, but I can't preview the emoji on Rofi, a weird icon appears, when I select it I can't preview it on Kitty either, but if I paste on the browser it works. What could be the cause? Maybe the font?

Exatamente o que eu estava procurando. Obrigado!

Hi your videos are so helpful. If you have time could you do a video just showing the full install of a script in rofi step by step.

Hey man can you please do a video on installing starship prompt in arch. I am having problems with the fonts...I did install the nerd fonts, but things don't seem to work...

[Selbstdenkender]

cool terminal config, is that alacritty?

[raphaelcordeiro]

Esse video é muito bom, consegui configurar o rofi, ainda falta implementar um script para controlar os sistemas de volume e trocar dispositivos de aúdio mas o vídeo me serviu bastante como um guia!!

Hello from New York City! How can ROFI be setup to unmount USB Flash drives and other external USB devices? Thank you for your informative video.

I got this error what is this? xkbcommon: ERROR: couldn't find a Compose file for locale "en_IN" (mapped to "en_IN.ISO8859-1")

Great guide! Is there any way to only show the emoji icons without the text? Thank you very much.
