Worf - Wayland Optimized Run Facilitator

Worf is yet another style launcher, heavily inspired by wofi, rofi and walker. Worf is written in Rust on top of GTK4.

It aims to be a drop in replacement for wofi in most part, so it is (almost) compatible with its configuration and css files. See below for differences

Setup

Hyprland

Allow blur for Worf

layerrule = blur, worf

Additional functionality compared to Wofi

Support passing 'hidden' parameters that are not visible in the launcher but will be returned to the application
Window switcher for hyprland
All arguments expect show are supported by config and args

New config / command line options

fuzzy-length: Defines how long a string must be to be considered for fuzzy match
row-box-orientation: Allows aligning values vertically to place the label below the icon
configurable animation time

New Styling options

label: Allows styling the label
row: Allows styling to row, mainly used to disable hover effects

Library

The launcher and UI can be used to build any launcher, as the ui, config and run logic is available as a separate crate. This library is not available publicly yet as the interface is not stable enough.

Breaking changes to Wofi

Runtime behaviour is not guaranteed to be the same and won't ever be, this includes error messages and themes.
Themes in general are mostly compatible. Worf is using the same entity ids, because worf is build on GTK4 instead of GTK3 there will be differences in the look and feel.
Configuration files are not 100% compatible, Worf is using toml files instead, for most part this only means strings have to be quoted
Color files are not supported
line_wrap is now called line-wrap
Wofi has a C-API, that is not and won't be supported.

Dropped arguments

mode, use show
dmenu, use show
D, arguments are the same as config in worf, no need to have this flag.

Dropped configuration options

stylesheet -> use style instead
color / colors -> GTK4 does not support color files
