what's the problem?

[HManzano1012]

well I am not getting the style on the bar at all and if I try to use any shortcut i get --The following errors were detected when starting rofi -----error while parsing theme

i dont know what could be happening, I installed all the packages with the install arch packages script and I tried with a new arch installation.

to launch polybar -q main -c <config_dir> e.g polybar -q main -c ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/valorant/config launch VALORANT polybar OR polybar -q main -c ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/JapaneseCity/config launch Japanese City polybar

for rofi give a screenshot

[HManzano1012]

OK, I'll give it a try

Hi, I'm having the same problem, I got this error and I can't use anything, I can't even use the power off key.

I'll put a photo of the error because I can't log in with bspwm

But the bar does work

EDIT: Well, I managed to make Alacritty work, so I'm testing a bit more, it looks like there's some problem with the color parsing or something. Some polybars works better than others

For example, this is the hack theme

Everything gives errors or doesn't work except for the widget to change theme and you can see Alacrity is having problems to parse colors too

And this is the BlackArch theme a bit buggy

I noticed here the colors are set in the theme config, when in the hack theme there are no colors set but works better

for ROFI I think it's a parser error, but you can change the color as shown in the video

do for all files.rasi

to launch polybar -q main -c <config_dir> e.g polybar -q main -c ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/valorant/config launch VALORANT polybar OR polybar -q main -c ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/JapaneseCity/config launch Japanese City polybar

for polybar color file, you can change it in the config file e.g VALORANT polybar edit ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/valorant/config

this is a color scheme location include-file = ~/.config/bspwm/polybar/valorant/colors you can create your own color scheme file and set its location

Yes, thank you, but that'll take a lot of time so I decided to look a bit through the code and I found that the xrdb -query was clearing the colors.rasi because I haven't had a .Xresources set, so I downloaded a theme for that and it's all good now

So for the OP, you should have ~/.Xresources file with some colors so you don't get the parse theme error

[mmsaeed509]

OK! thanks for helping!

Can you share your Xresources file?

.Xresource in misc dir .Xresource
