Passing backend options #12

Closed hakanyi closed 2 years ago

hakanyi commented 2 years ago

Great project, thank you! I've been trying to add an option to the rofi backend, for example, a font:

tessen -b 'rofi -dmenu -i -font "Roboto 11"'

but that doesn't seem to work. It'd be great to pass a font and a theme etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

@t0fik I don't want to fix this using eval or xargs. I didn't think about the issue of accepting arbitrary code as arguments and parsing them in bash when #9 was merged.

@hakanyi Hi, thank you for raising this bug report.

rofi is supported by tessen by default so you can use

tessen -b rofi

to use rofi. If you want to change the font of rofi, you can create/edit ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi and mention a font in that file.

I didn't think about the issue of accepting arbitrary input as argument when I merged #9. Let me think about what I can do here. You can use the solution I've suggested in the meantime.

@hakanyi A new version of tessen has been released and it supports configuring rofi using a configuration file. This should solve your issue.

If there's anything else, let me know and I'll reopen this issue.

@ayushnix Passing arguments to the backend could still be beneficial in situations where you need to overwrite certain parameters set in the main configuration file. Like changing the prompt, for example.
