Importing Customization File Not Working as Expected

[spydragon]

Rofi Version: 2.0.0
Files: config.rasi, JuxTheme.rasi

Reproduce: place these files in .config/rofi and use the config.rasi file as your main config.

What Happens: most of the features I expect happen, right font, right size, right position. but the background color is wrong. it should be dark

if you instead use the JuxTheme.rasi by its self, it does give you a dark background.

you could say that I should just move/rename the JuxTheme.rasi file. but I use NixOS and that's not really an option unless I want to do that every time I change anything on my system, which I don't.

it is 100% possible I'm dumb and missing something simple, but I can't find what it is. could I get some help, or get this elevated as an issue?

(if someone knows how to fix this via changing the JuxTheme.rasi file, I can do that and would love your input.)

@theme clears all (default) theme settings
if you use JuxTheme.rasi directly you build on top of the default theme.

So either import the default theme in juxtheme.rasi or instead of @theme, @import juxtheme.rasi from config.rasi

See also the documentation. This explains the differences between the @theme and @import

thanks!
since the second option isn't within my power on nixos, I'll go with the first.
I assume your talking about default_theme.rasi?

You might want to read the documentation, it explains this and how to load the default theme:
