Window height will be adjusted. +.TP +.B \-fn +defines the font. +.TP +.B \-nb +defines the normal background color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported). +.TP +.B \-nf +defines the normal foreground color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported). +.TP +.B \-p +defines a prompt to be displayed before the input area. +.TP +.B \-sb +defines the selected background color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported). +.TP +.B \-sf +defines the selected foreground color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported). +.TP .B \-v prints version information to standard output, then exits. .SH USAGE dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a -menu.
