.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-The need for a new theme format was motivated by the fact that the way rofi handled widgets has changed\. From a very static drawing of lines and text to a nice structured form of packing widgets\. This change made it possible to provide a more flexible theme framework\. The old theme format and config file is not flexible enough to expose these options in a user\-friendly way\. Therefor a new file format has been created, replacing the old one\. The new format is loosely based on css \fIhttps://en\.wikipedia\.org/wiki/Cascading_Style_Sheets\fR, a format widely known, which allows e\.g\. web developers to create their own rofi themes without the need to learn a new markup language\.
