jgmenu - lightweight applications menu

jgmenu

https://jgmenu.github.io/index.html

A simple, independent and contemporary-looking X11 menu, designed for scripting, ricing and tweaking.

It is hackable and has a simple code base. It does not depend on any toolkits such as GTK and Qt, but uses cairo and pango to render the menu.

It can optionally use some appearance settings from XSettings, tint2 and GTK.

It can display the following types of menu (or any combination of):

bespoke menu using a jgmenu flavoured CSV format
application menu (XDG compatible) with localisation support
pipe menus
openbox XML menu including openbox pipe-menus

It has UTF-8 search support.

Thank you, Scottman..
Very interesting

I thought you might like it

I'm looking forward to compiling it as well! (when I get time)

It looks like it could be very good indeed - acting as a Xfce whisker menu and a "spotlight" or Rofy style popup launcher _as well_.

Looks great!

Thanks, sc0ttman.

Hi Sc0ttman.
I try to build from github like this:

Code: Select all

./configure --prefix=/usr
make install

But when I run jgmenu_run i got this error.

Code: Select all

[jgmenu-master]
#jgmenu_run 
warning: set font to 'Sans 11' because all else failed
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  78 (X_CreateColormap)
  Serial number of failed request:  18
  Current serial number in output stream:  21

It is not as simple as I think..

Probably need to add or symlink some fonts.. Or change the fonts referred to in the source (less recommended).

We should post the error on the GitHub Issues page and tell the developer.. He might be able to help
