1 lineheight - Set dmenu line height with -h option 2 Source: https://tools.suckless.org/dmenu/patches/line-height/dmenu-lineheight-4.9.diff 3 Original Authors: Xarchus 4 Jonathon Fernyhough (jonathon at manjaro-dot-org) (4.7 rewrite) 5 Aleksandrs Stier (4.9 port) 6 7 Description from source: 8 """ 9 The patch adds a '-h' option, which sets the minimum height of a dmenu line. This helps integrate dmenu with other 10 UI elements that require a particular vertical size. 11 12 Example: 13 14 By default, dmenu calculates its height as the height of the font used plus 2. So when opening dmenu over a panel 15 bar that is 24 pixels high, it would look like this: 16 17 Screenshot dmenu default height 18 19 Despite both the panel and dmenu using the same font (a Terminus 12), dmenu is shorter and the panel is visible from 20 under the dmenu bar. The appearance can be even more distracting when using similar colors for background and selections. 21 22 With the option added by this patch, dmenu can be launched with a '-h 24', thus completely covering the panel, as shown 23 below: 24 25 Screenshot dmenu with line height patch 26 27 The line height value is also used when dmenu is used in 'vertical' mode ('-l' option). 28 """ 29 30 == YOU MUST == 31 (1).

Run 'emerge dmenu' 37 38 == YOU PROBABLY SHOULD == 39 (1). Run dmenu with the '-h X' option, where 'X' is the line height 40 41 == PATCH MODIFICATIONS == 42 (1). Removed all changes made to 'config.def.h' 43 (2). Added a 'nodoc' patch version which strips out added documentation 44 45 == INCOMPATIBILITIES == 46 THIS PATCH MAKES CHANGES TO DMENU'S BUILT-IN DOCUMENTATION, WHICH CAN CAUSE CONFLICTS WITH OTHER PATCHES! 47 If you encounter such conflicts, try emerging with the 'lineheight-nodoc.patch' file instead.
