owh fun :( Thanks for reporting and bisecting.

[DaveDavenport]

This is a bug, but odd theme, given it has borders but in same color as background.
Quick work-around would be setting border-color it to 'transparent'.

[DaveDavenport]

Git should fix this.

[237dmitry]

I also couldn't set the correct border color, it's semi-transparent:

border: 1px solid;
border-color: #aabbcc;     //    semi-transparent as #aabbcc88

[DaveDavenport]

If you could test rofi-git to see if it works with the latest change, that would be very useful.

aur/rofi-git 1.7.5.r90.g82b2ce94-1 [+70 ~0.72] [Out-of-date: 2024-12-28]

$ rofi -version
Version: 1.7.7-dirty

[Linus-Mussmaecher]

In the AUR, rofi-git is marked out of date since 2024-12-28 (as pointed out above), but uninstalling rofi and installing rofi-git fixes the issue.

but uninstalling rofi and installing rofi-git fixes the issue.

I don't want to downgrade Rofi's version, I think it's better to wait. Now I set the borders to 0, not so pretty, but bearable.

The bug has been fixed on the latest development branch (next)

Waiting is fine but installing rofi-git from AUR instead of rofi is not "downgrade rofi's version", on the contrary you'd be using the latest development version. Flip side is, of course, that new regressions can pop there as well.

There is 1.7.5 but current is 1.7.7

[lbonn]

@237dmitry The packages ending with -git (eg rofi-git) in AUR are tagged to some arbitrary version until someone updates it but if you build it you will see that it actually takes the tip of the upstream repository.

So in summary, do not trust this 1.7.5

[237dmitry]

Thanks, Ok, I built the package and installed it instead of rofi-1.7.7 and it works as expected. Borders are fine.

Version: 1.7.7-4-g60181710 (makepkg)

I'm waiting for the new release, though.

[DaveDavenport]

If more people would test, these thing could be caught before a release. By helping to test, you also help us avoid these issues.

The fix (of another issue) that caused passed most of my tests, but it is hard to catch all cases. (this is why i also committed your theme as test-case).

Same issue in Void Linux after updating to 1.7.7

With border issues

[Oglo12]

I've had the same issue.

Before updating (just fine, do note that this screenshot is from one of my YouTube videos, so the quality is questionable):

After updating (now I have these weird dark and light spots):

Here is my current config: https://0x0.st/8o9e.tar.gz (0x0.st is just an easy way to share files.)

[Oglo12]

Idk if it helps, but I am using Hyprland, so I am using the Wayland version of Rofi.

[Oglo12]

[DaveDavenport]

@Oglo12 did the fix in this issue fix this? or are you just repeating what already been reported, confirmed and possible fixed?

rules.

Sorry, I saw the issue was open, so I figured I would add to it. I also linked another config in case that would help.

[lbonn]

Yes I think we can close the issue as the fix is in next.

@Oglo12 it's also fixed on the latest wayland tip but not in a release yet, lbonn#164
