(let me edit this real quick since not everybody may get the joke in here)
Rofi also can be used to display and manage open windows, try -rofi -show window-
or in the config add :
-
configuration -
-display-drun: -APPS-;
-display-run: -COMMAND-;
display-window: -TASKS-;
-show-icons: true;
-
window -
-transparency: -real-;
-width: 70%;
-/-fullscreen: true;-/
-background-color: #263238CC; /-base00 + CC (80% opacity)-/
-
mainbox -
-children: [inputbar, message, mode-switcher, listview];
-spacing: 30px;
-/-margin: 20%;-/
-padding: 30px 0;
-border: 1px;
-border-color: -base0D;

that should give you three tabs in the rofi menu, its up to you to noodle that to your hearts content ;)
Have a nice day !

It is quite the opposite. You could have just made a script for dmenu and improved it. Recently, Linux users have begun to complain a lot about -bloat-, despite not really understanding what it is. In my opinion, -bloat- is when a program implements features by default that could have been implemented by the user themselves. You could have easily edited the dmenu-run script to have what you need, but you didn't. The problem isn't with dmenu, it is with the script you are using, by -default- dmenu does nothing, as it should!

and who said you cant use dmenu to run desktop files?
cd /usr/share/applications && ls - dmenu - xargs gtk-launch
for appimages
cd -/AppImages/ && ls - dmenu -sed -E 's/-/\.\//' - sh
appimage launcher will create the desktop files anyway so all you gotta do is pipe the ls of /usr/share/applications and -/.local/share/applications

rofi and dmenu are two different things, i use dmenu for all of my prompt scripts because its the fastest thing in the world and i use rofi for desktop files and occasionally switching windows or any run command that i usually run because rofi remembers history

For those on sway, a wayland alternative is wofi which, apart from the dumb name (yes, yes, Wayland rOFI, we get it) is not bad actually. Of course, you can still use rofi, it will launch using xwayland, but there are some issues if you change focus.

How do you get the powerline shell style in the taskbar?? I have seen that in many videos and cannot figure out for the life of me what that is.. Is it just a polybar theme or is it actually ps in another bar?
