Rofi themes failing to launch

[KofiChee]

Versions: wal 2.0.5 rofi 1.4.2

When using Rofi with colors-rofi-dark.rasi or colors-rofi-light.rasi, I get the following error:

**Error while parsing theme:** _~/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi_
Parser error: __syntax error, unexpected error from file parser, expecting end of file or "Element
section ('# {name} { ... } ')" or "Default settings section ( '*{ ... }')" or Configuration block__
Location: Line 49 Column 2 to Line 51 Column 2
File: '/home/ajubatus/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi'

When I edit this block (and the following block, textbox-prompt-colon), Rofi now works fine (but with a double colon). This of course only lasts until the colorscheme changes.

#inputbar {
    children:   [ prompt,textbox-prompt-colon,entry,case-indicator ];
}

#textbox-prompt-colon {
    expand: false;
    str: ":";
    margin: 0px 0.3em 0em 0em;
    text-color: @normal-foreground;
}

Can you upload the contents of /home/ajubatus/.cache/wal/colors-rofi-dark.rasi without your modifications?

Here you are:

That template works just fine for me. I can't reproduce your issue. Do you have a way to reliably reproduce this?

I'm having the same issue. Looks like running wal -i ~/Path/To/Images/ doesn't add the '#' on lines 51 and 55 when it overwrites the colors-rofi-dark.rasi and colors-rofi-light files.

Versions: wal 3.10 rofi 1.4.2 i3 4.15 (if it makes a difference)

If you can't reproduce the error, post your system info and I'll see if I can track down the root of the problem

Same issue here when running wal -i ....

• wal 3.1.0
• rofi 1.4.2
• sway 0.15.2
