 # dmenu
+
 This is my patched version of dmenu.
 The base version is directly from suckless.org.
+This belongs to my larbs installation script, meaning it's supposed to work in the environment of the larbs-base-installation.
 
 ## Patches
+
 The list below shows the currently applied patches to this build.
-- dmenu-border-4.9.diff
+- dmenu-border-4.9.diff (adds a border)
-- dmenu-center-20200111-8cd37e1.diff
+- dmenu-center-20200111-8cd37e1.diff (adds option to center dmenu)
-- dmenu-password-4.9.diff
+- dmenu-fuzzymatch-4.9.diff (adds option to fuzzy matching)
+- dmenu-password-4.9.diff (adds option to hide input)
 
 ## Installation
+
 To install this package you can run several commands.
 
 ### AUR
-If you're on Arch you can use the Arch User Repository.
-For simplicity you can use a AUR-helper such as yay.
-- `yay -S dmenu-tiyn-git`
 
 Or you can clone it and run it by makepkg.
 - `git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/dmenu-tiyn-git.git`
 - `makepkg -sirc`
