Theme very basic!
wofi --show=drun
Or just run that is very minimalist (I recommend).
wayfire.ini
vim ~/.config/wayfire.ini
# search line command_laucher
command_laucher = wofi --show=drun
Super + shift + enter
mkdir -p ~/.config/wofi
vim .config/wofi/config
Enter these initial sample colors
window {
color: #A9B1BD;
background-color: #2D3037;
}
#inner-box {
margin: 5px;
border: 2px solid #2D3037;
background-color: #2D3037;
}
