git clone https://github.com/Ninso112/rexit.git
cd rexit
cargo build --release
sudo cp target/release/rexit /usr/local/bin/

rexit                              # Launch power menu
rexit --init                       # Generate default config

rexit auto-detects your WM and sets the right commands. You can override with wm_type in the config.

Falls der Standard-Lockscreen nicht installiert ist, wird automatisch nach Alternativen gesucht (hyprlock, swaylock, i3lock, betterlockscreen, etc.).

Generate the default config:

rexit --init
# Creates ~/.config/rexit/config.toml

Config is loaded from --config flag or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rexit/config.toml.

title = " rexit "
title_alignment = "center"
layout_mode = "vertical"     # vertical, horizontal, grid, compact
wm_type = "auto"             # auto, hyprland, sway, i3, bspwm, awesome

[border]
enabled = true
style = "rounded"            # plain, rounded, double, thick

[grace_period]

[performance]

[help_text]

Colors support named values (red, cyan, lightblue, ...) and hex (#RRGGBB).

Each action is independently configurable:

[actions.shutdown]
icon = ""           # Nerd Font icon (or emoji like "⏻")
label = "Shutdown"
command = "systemctl"
args = ["poweroff"]
enabled = true
shortcut = "s"

Available actions: shutdown, reboot, suspend, lock, logout, cancel.

70+ animation types grouped by category:

• Classic: matrix, digital_rain, rain, snow, stars, fireflies, bubbles, confetti
• Nature: aurora, autumn, butterflies, vine_growth, moss, spider_web, ocean, fog
• Fire/Energy: flames, sparks, lava_lamp, sun, plasma

35+ built-in themes. List them with rexit --list-themes, use one with --theme <name>.

Set a default theme in your config:

theme = "catppuccin-mocha"

# ~/.config/rexit/themes/mytheme.toml
[colors]
