Bya-applets: Wifimenu

A rofi based dynamic menu applet to manage Wi-Fi using NetworkManager nmcli.

Inspired by rofi-wifi-menu and the GOAT Catppuccin rofi theme.

Features

• A daemon to run Wi-Fi scans managable by an external tool (like Waybar)
• Main menu to enable/disable Wi-Fi, manually trigger a scan and open a submenu to manage known networks
• Submenu to manage known networks (control autoconnect, forget network)

Requirements

1. rofi
2. NetworkManager
3. Iosevka Nerd Font (or any other Nerd Font you prefer)
4. libnotify compatible notification daemon (dunst, mako,...)
5. GNU Coreutils and gawk

Installation

Clone the repo and copy its contents to wherever u prefer. Ideally add its scripts directory to your PATH as well.

Usage

Wifimenu

Run wifimenu.

Wifidaemon

You can use an external tool (eg. Waybar) to periodically perform a Wi-Fi scan using wifidaemon. wifidaemon prompts nmcli to scan for available Wi-Fi stations and gather information about current Wi-Fi connection. wifimenu uses this data to render it in its menu.

You do not have to periodically scan using wifidaemon tho. wifimenu starts a scan when run if no Wi-Fi scan was performed in the last 30s. This scan timeout can be set by a wifidaemon_timeout environment variable

eg.

# .bashrc/.zshrc
export wifidaemon_timeout=60#s

Theming

You can find the theming .rasi files in the config directory.
