<p>This section outlines the various configuration options in <code>config.h</code>, what they do and what to
refer to.</p>
<p>The general principle here is that the configuration defines the default behaviour of dmenu while
most features and functionality can be enabled (or disabled) using command line arguments.</p>

};</pre></div>
<p>The <code>fonts</code> config is a list of font names that the dmenu will use for displaying text.</p>
<p>The first in the list will be the primary font while the rest will be fallback fonts that are used
should the primary font does not have a specific glyph (character).</p>
<p>The font names can generally be found by using the <code>fc-list</code> command in a terminal.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that not all fonts are created equally. When combining different fonts they may have
to be set to different sizes to appear roughly the same.</p>
<p>If text size is significantly different to the size of symbols then you can try setting <code>pixelsize</code>
instead of <code>size</code> in the font string.</p>
<p>Refer to the <a href="ColorEmoji">ColorEmoji</a> functionality if you plan to enable coloured emoji in the bar.</p>
<p>Refer to the fontconfig page for details when it comes to system configuration:</p>

<p>The <code>prompt</code> setting controls the default leading prompt indicating what kind of options dmenu is
presenting. This is more commonly set via the <code>-p</code> (or <code>-prompt</code>) command line option.</p>
<p>Here is an example setting a prompt of "Files:" when running dmenu:</p>
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto" data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="$ ls | dmenu -p &quot;Files:&quot;"><pre>$ ls <span class="pl-k">|</span> dmenu -p <span class="pl-s"><span class="pl-pds">"</span>Files:<span class="pl-pds">"</span></span></pre></div>

<p>The alpha configuration controls the transparency levels of colours used in the dmenu window and
this is defined on a per colour scheme basis.</p>
<p>If a colour scheme is not explicitly listed in the <code>alphas</code> array above then they will default to
having an opaque foreground and a background opacity of <code>0xd0</code>.</p>
<p>In other words you do not need to add colour schemes here unless you want something that has more
or less opacity than the defaults.</p>
<p><code>SchemeNorm</code> is listed here primarily as an example for how to configure this, but also because many
compilers do not like empty initialisers.</p>
<p>The foreground (fg) colour transparency is used for text and is by default opaque.</p>
<p>The background (bg) colour transparency is by default <code>0xd0</code> (about 82% opacity).</p>
<p>Should you, for whatever reason, want to change the default alpha values then refer to the following
variable in <code>drw.c</code>:</p>

<p>The <code>colors</code> array defines the colours used for the dmenu window including the border.</p>
<p>Each colour scheme consists of a foreground colour which is used for text and a background colour
that is used for the background in the bar.</p>
<p>The resource prefix is used in relation to loading / overwriting the colour schemes via Xresources.
Refer to the <a href="Xresources">Xresources</a> functionality for more information on that.</p>
<p>Should you need to add your own custom colour schemes then you can do so by expanding on the
corresponding enum in dmenu.c. Start by searching for "SchemeNorm".</p>

<p>The <code>columns</code> setting allow for dmenu to display items in a grid. This is most commonly enabled
using the <code>-g</code> command line option and this must be combined with lines (<code>-l</code>) to work.</p>
<p>The <code>-g</code> option is short for "grid" and this is used to be consistent with the original
<a href="https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/grid/" rel="nofollow ugc">grid</a> patch for dmenu and because other and perhaps
more intuitive flags are reserved for different functionalities.</p>

<p>By default the minimum line height will be the size of the font height + 2 pixels (as in one
additional pixel space above and below the text).</p>
<p>The <code>lineheight</code> setting controls the height of the dmenu bar, or the height of the dmenu lines
when items are presented across multiple lines, provided that this is greater than the minimum.</p>
<p>If <code>lineheight</code> is <code>0</code> then the default line height is used.</p>
<p>If <code>lineheight</code> is <code>-1</code> then the line height will be 2.5 times that of the font height:</p>
<p><img src="https://github.com/bakkeby/dmenu/wiki/configuration/lineheight_minus_one.jpg" alt="lineheight_minus_one.jpg"></p>
<p>The <code>-h</code> command line option can be used to specify the line height. This will have no effect if
the provided value is less than the minimum (which depends on the font size).</p>
<p>Example having dmenu present items over a 5x3 grid with a line height of 60 pixels:</p>

<p>The <code>min_width</code> setting controls the default (minimum) width of dmenu when centered. In practice
this controls the size of dmenu when centered. It is possible to override this size by using the
<code>-w</code> command line option to set the width of dmenu.</p>
<p>Also refer to the <a href="Centered">Centered</a> functionality.</p>

<p>These options originate from the <a href="https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/navhistory/" rel="nofollow ugc">navhistory</a>
patch for dmenu. The <code>maxhist</code> setting controls how many previous selections to remember while the
<code>histnodup</code> controls whether to allow duplicate values in the history or not.</p>
<p>This is to be combined with the <code>-H histfile</code> command line option which specifies the history file
to use.</p>
<p>Example using dmenu with a history file:</p>
<div data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="$ ls | dmenu -H histfile.dat" class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto"><pre>$ ls <span class="pl-k">|</span> dmenu -H histfile.dat</pre></div>
<p>When using dmenu like this the selected item is stored in the given file <code>histfile.dat</code>.</p>
<div data-snippet-clipboard-copy-content="$ cat histfile.dat
config.h
config.mk
arg.h" class="highlight highlight-source-shell notranslate position-relative overflow-auto"><pre>$ cat histfile.dat
config.h
config.mk
arg.h</pre></div>
<p>Exceptions to this:</p>
<ul>
<li>when selecting multiple items only the last selected item will be stored</li>
<li>when selecting items using the mouse no item will be stored in the history</li>
</ul>
<p>When using dmenu that has a history file like this then <code>Alt+p</code> and <code>Alt+n</code> keybindings can be used
to navigate the history of previously chosen items.</p>

<ul>
<li>
<code>Ctrl+w</code> - delete the word on the left</li>
<li>

<li>
<code>Alt+f</code> (or <code>Ctrl+Right</code>) - move cursor to the end of the current word</li>

<p>The <code>worddelimiters</code> setting controls what characters are considered as word boundaries.</p>

<p>The <code>border_width</code> setting controls the width of the border around dmenu. A border width of 0 means
that dmenu is to be drawn with no border. This can also be set using the <code>-bw</code> command line option.</p>

<p>The <code>vertpad</code> and <code>sidepad</code> options allows for dmenu to be placed with an offset to the monitor
border. This is intended to allow for dmenu to be placed on top of the bar in dwm when the
<code>barpadding</code> patch for dwm, which adds a gap between the bar and the edge of the monitor, has been
applied.</p>
<p>This can also be controlled using the command line arguments of <code>-xpad</code> and <code>-ypad</code> if preferred.</p>
<p>If the position of dmenu is specified using the <code>-x</code> or <code>-y</code> command line arguments, or if dmenu is
centered, then the vertical and horizontal padding will not be taken into account.</p>
