# Sysmenu
Sysmenu is a simple and efficient application launcher written in gtkmm4 
![default](https://github.com/System64fumo/sysmenu/blob/main/preview_default.gif "default")
![fullscreen](https://github.com/System64fumo/sysmenu/blob/main/preview_fullscreen.gif "fullscreen")
[![Packaging status](https://repology.org/badge/vertical-allrepos/sysmenu.svg)](https://repology.org/project/sysmenu/versions)

# Install
You need the following dependencies:
* gtkmm-4.0
* gtk4-layer-shell

Customize ``config.hpp`` if you wish to do so. 
Then to build all you need to do is run ``make``

# Why does this exist?
Mainly because i got bored lol. 
But also because i disliked how the current programs i used behaved. 
So instead of fixing them i created my own!

# Configuration
sysmenu can be configured in 3 ways 
1: By changing config.h and recompiling (Suckless style) 
2: Using a config file (~/.config/sys64/menu/config.conf) 
3: Using launch arguments 
```
arguments:
 -S	Hide the program on launch
 -s	Hide the search bar
 -i	Set launcher icon size
 -I	Set dock icon size
 -m	Set launcher margins
 -u	Show name under icon
 -b	Show scroll bars
 -n	Max name length
 -p	Items per row
 -a	Anchors ("top right bottom left")
 -W	Set window width
 -H	Set window Height
 -l	Disable use of layer shell
 -v	Prints version info
 -D	Set dock items ("Terminal,FileManager,WebBrowser,ect..")
```

# Signals
You can send signals to show/hide the window. 
``pkill -USR1 sysmenu`` to show. 
``pkill -USR2 sysmenu`` to hide. 
``pkill -RTMIN sysmenu`` to toggle.

# Theming
sysmenu uses your gtk4 theme by default, However it can be also load custom css, 
Just copy one of the included style_*.css file to ~/.config/sys64/menu/style.css
