Vicinae vs wofi/rofi

[admilsonmarques]

Hey @saatvik333, I saw that you are playing around with Vicinae, how are you liking it?

Hi @admilsonmarques, I was one of the very early adopters of vicinae, imo it's the best open-source raycast alternative project by Aurélien but since it lacked extensive styling support issue raised needed by the theming script I used in hyprland I resorted to keep using wofi. As for rofi I didn't use it with hyprland because at the time of me using it lacked native wayland support but now in the v2.0.0 release they've added that so I am currently using that for some menus and custom launchers with my new WM setup niri-dotfiles

P.s since my new setup doesn't need to generate palette for each and every wallpaper I am going to switch to Vicinae now since it's too sleek and functional to not use. Thanks for reminding :P

Got it, I started testing after your answer, thank you for that!

I was able to change vicinae using wallust (inspired on what you did), I'm still modding stuff, but check if it could help you :)
