Alright so there are some things to consider. First,

To customize dmenu appearance, copy config.ini.example to ~/.config/networkmanager-dmenu/config.ini and edit. On Arch Linux, it should be in /usr/share/doc/networkmanager-dmenu-git/config.ini.example by default if installed with the aur package.

run cp /usr/share/doc/networkmanager-dmenu-git/config.ini.example ~/.config/networkmanager-dmenu/config.ini to copy the file to the appropriate location.

2) then uncomment the line dmenu_command and replace whatever is there after the = with the appropriate rofi command. In your case, the command will be dmenu_command = rofi -no-config -no-lazy-grab -show drun -modi drun -theme ~/.config/polybar/blocks/scripts/rofi/networkmenu.rasi

had this same issue, there really should be a documentation somewhere. Thanks! Hope I helped

@iSparsh sorry for disturbing a old issue. I did same as you mentioned , created the config and the dmenu shows up perfectly. But when I try connecting to WIFI , all I see is wifi logo and "passphrase" . Where should I click to enter password . It shows no input box to enter the password.

I've the same issue as @CH4ND4N-x, I also see no input field for the wifi password.

Edit: Its defenitely a issue with the theme. If I remove -theme ~/.config/polybar/blocks/scripts/rofi/networkmenu.rasi from the command, I get a password prompt that works.
