Sysmenu is a simple and efficient application launcher written in gtkmm4
You need the following dependencies:
- gtkmm-4.0
- gtk4-layer-shell
Customize config.hpp if you wish to do so.
Then to build all you need to do is run make
Mainly because i got bored lol.
But also because i disliked how the current programs i used behaved.
So instead of fixing them i created my own!
sysmenu can be configured in 3 ways
1: By changing config.h and recompiling (Suckless style)
2: Using a config file (~/.config/sys64/menu/config.conf)
3: Using launch arguments
arguments:
-S Hide the program on launch
-s Hide the search bar
-i Set launcher icon size
-I Set dock icon size
-m Set launcher margins
-u Show name under icon
-b Show scroll bars
-n Max name length
-p Items per row
-a Anchors ("top right bottom left")
-W Set window width
-H Set window Height
-l Disable use of layer shell
-v Prints version info
-D Set dock items ("Terminal,FileManager,WebBrowser,ect..")
You can send signals to show/hide the window.
pkill -USR1 sysmenu to show.
pkill -USR2 sysmenu to hide.
pkill -RTMIN sysmenu to toggle.
sysmenu uses your gtk4 theme by default, However it can be also load custom css,
Just copy one of the included style_*.css file to ~/.config/sys64/menu/style.css
