This would allow customizing the Rofi font, theme, and layout.

todo.txt uses $HOME/.todo/config as a default file for user configuration. i wonder what is the need of a separate configuration in $HOME/.config/todo-txt.cfg.

On Arch todotxt - provided by todotxt (AUR) - exists as todo.sh. It would be nice if todofi searches for this script in addition to todo-txt.

Would be lovely for readability if priorities, tags, and contexts could be displayed in an alternate color.

The screenshot in the readme shows todofi.sh using the gruvbox theme.
I would like to have exactly the same theme, but I'm pretty new to rofi, and I don't see how I can theme the dialog using the todofi.sh script?

It would be good to have an example of how to manage theming for todofi.sh.

In the script there's a declaration of the default location of the todofish config: CONFIG_FILE="${HOME}/.config/todofish.conf"

But that config file never gets loaded? Only if the script is called with the -c option?

Although there's a check for todo.sh instead of todo-txt, when the script actually runs the command it's hard-coded to todo-txt:

I fixed it by changing that line to:

    $TODO_BIN -p -d "$TODOTXT_CFG_FILE" "$@"

whereis also matches directories and this makes the test unreliable:

~ whereis -b todotxt | awk '{print $2}'
/usr/share/todotxt
~ todotxt
zsh: command not found: todotxt
~ ls -ld /usr/share/todotxt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 jún  7 22:09 /usr/share/todotxt

when i open my todo.txt (which is in an alternative place so I use the -c argument) todofi opens very slow. It's something like 3 seconds. Shouldn't be that hard to open a text file, so something must be wrong.

I'm on a fully updated manjaro linux system with i3. only alternative thing I got going for todofi is the placement of my todo folder, but can't see how that should mean anything.

Thanks for your script and I love it so much. But the font color seems to be weried when I add -theme argument in todofish.conf like the following:

ROFI_BIN="$(command -v rofi) -theme ~/.config/rofi/tokyonight.rasi"

and when I run the script by ./todofi.sh, it outputs:

As you can see, some item's text color is not corespond with its priority, I try to change the theme file like https://github.com/newmanls/rofi-themes-collection/blob/master/themes/nord.rasi but the result is same. Here is my theme file:

* {
    font:   "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font Bold 20";

      bg1     : #1f2335;

      background-color : transparent;
      text-color       : @fg0;

      margin  : 0;
      padding : 0;
      spacing : 0;

    background-color:   @bg1;
}

    vertical-align: 0.5;
}

prompt {
    text-color: @accent;
}

textbox {
    padding:            8px;
    background-color:   @bg1;
}

listview {
    padding:    4px 0;
    lines:      8;
    columns:    2;

    fixed-height:   false;
}

element {
    padding:    8px;
    spacing:    8px;
}

element normal normal {
    text-color: @fg0;
}

element normal urgent {
    text-color: @urgent;
}

element normal active {
    text-color: @accent;
}

element selected {
    text-color: @bg0;
}

element selected normal, element selected active {
    background-color:   @accent;
}

element selected urgent {
    background-color:   @urgent;
}

element-icon {
    size:   0.8em;
}

element-text {
    text-color: inherit;
}

Finally, thanks for your contribution and patience again.

I am using a custom solarized dark rofi theme, and some of the default markup colors are barely readable (project) or extremely bright (due date).

I tried overriding the MARKUP_xxx variables in the config file:

However it seems the sed invocation breaks the markup code, as I am getting pango errors.

Could it be possible to add variables for the markup colors, that can be easily overriden in config file?

Thank you

Is there a way to add todofi.sh as a mode to rofi?
I tried it like this:
rofi.modi: drun,todofi:todofi.sh -c /home/hd/.config/todo/config,calc:qalc +u8,window

There is no error message, but the resulting mode just shows the output of todofi.sh --help.

No matter if I use -c / -d or no argument at all - nothing changes.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The color of the text in editpriority() and confirm() is not configurable.

Add a variable (COLOR_ITEM) like the others, and change out the hardcoded color.

adding a todo e.g. a&b results in the text in the todo.txt, but shows blank in todofi.sh
