  • [x] Remove title frame
  • [ ] Make input bigger
  • [ ] Launch at top and middle of screen
  • [x] Close the application when focus is out.
  • [x] Dark mode (use system or run setting to change it)

Could you please confirm that all this works? (Apart from bigger input, which is now configurable)?

Title removed.

The width parameter and maxChar of configuration works, changing of maxHeight doesn't impact anything.

Launch at top and middle of screen

Is it possible to configure?

Launch at top and middle of screen

I believe it should appear in the middle of the screen by default. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to make it appear at the top. GTK is strange.

What about bigger font size?

What about bigger font size?

Good idea. Going to add a configuration option for that.

Closes on focus out now.

Dark mode is really up to Gtk theme, I believe we shouldn't add any features that are already implemented a layer deeper. E.g. this is what it looks for me: 2019-03-31-231911_1920x1080_scrot

If you need a dark version, just install a dark theme of your liking, and launch it as GTK_THEME=your-dark-theme lambda-launcher

Also, I can't seem to find any good (both declarative and non-hacky) way to increase the font size. It seems GNOME/Gtk team wants all applications to have consistent fonts.

My system is in KDE/Qt, therefore it hasn't GTK_THEME environment.

Let's move 'dark mode' to separate issue.

It doesn't actually matter; You can set it wherever, just download some dark theme to ~/.local/share/themes/ and then run lambda-launcher not as lambda-launcher, but rather GTK_THEME=your-dark-theme lambda-launcher
