# V1.3.0: Dan vs. Greg: The never ending story.
+This release mostly focussed on cleaning up, refactoring and more. the gui is now constructed more dynamically. We
+introduced a widget system with boxes, scrollbars, separators, listview and textboxes. The boxes (vertical and
+horizontal) allows us to nice structure the layout and have them resize according to rules when the window changes size.
+
+insert small picture.
+
+This allowed us to make changes at run-time. In the future I hope we can use this to improve the theming. The cleanup
+and refactoring is not finished and will continue for the next release.
+
+Beside this we still managed to get some new features in:
+
+## Dynamic window size
+
+rofi can how resize the window to fit the number of visible entries, so as you type and the list of options becomes
+small, so does the windows (this is disabled by default). Rofi will try to keep the text box at the same place so you
+don't have to move focus. At the bottom of the screen the window layout is reversed so the textbox is at the bottom.
+
+insert small gif here.
+
+## Theme selector
+
+To make it easier to get a good looking rofi, we included a theme-selector script and ship rofi with a set of themes.
+The script allows you to preview themes, and make them the default theme.
+
+insert gif/picture.
+
+
+## Fuzzy parser
+
+On many request, the fuzzy matcher has been re-added.
