+Rofi 1.7.0 is another bug-fix release that also removes a lot of deprecated features. Even though this might not be
+popular, the deprecation of these options is needed to keep **rofi** maintainable.
+
+Beside mostly bug-fixes some changes where made to improve the theming and 'abnormal' use of rofi.
## FileBrowser
+TonCherAmi made several very nice usability improvements to the file-browser. His changes allow you to define sorting
+and ordering of the entries and chaneg the default start directory.
+
+These options can be set using the new 'nested' configuration format that we are testing in rofi:
+
+```css
+configuration {
+ filebrowser {
+ /** Directory the file browser starts in. */
+ directory: "/some/directory";
+ /**
+ * Sorting method. Can be set to:
+ * - "name"
+ * - "mtime" (modification time)
+ * - "atime" (access time)
+ * - "ctime" (change time)
+ */
+ sorting-method: "name";
+ /** Group directories before files. */
+ directories-first: true;
+ }
+}
+```
+
## Clickable button and icons
+```css
+icon-paste {
+ expand: false;
+ filename: "gtk-paste";
+ size: 24;
+ vertical-align: 0.5;
+ action: "kb-primary-paste";
+}
+```
+
+```css
+button-paste {
+ expand: false;
+ content: "My Clickable Message";
+ vertical-align: 0.5;
+ action: "kb-primary-paste";
+}
+```
+
+
+
+
## File Completion
## Timeout actions
+
+These options can be set using the new 'nested' configuration format that we are testing in rofi:
+
+```css
+configuration {
+ timeout {
+ delay: 15;
+ action: "kb-cancel";
+ }
+}
+```
+
## Background image and gradients
+```css
+window {
+ background-image: url("/tmp/i3.png", both);
+}
+element {
+ children: [element-icon, element-text];
+ background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, black/20%, white/20%, black/10%);
+}
+```
