Hi,

thanks for this piece of software, I found it a few days ago and already love it!

The only thing I'm missing is the possibility to place and style the window a little more: the number of lines, its offsets and width. On my screen much of the text that explains which keys I shall unlock is cut off.

dmenu2 implements those features. I use dmenu2 daily for running applications, accessing my password-store database etc., and I like it very much to have the prompt in the middle of my screen.

As pinentry-dmenu is grabbing the keyboard it would also make sense to (optionally) have it pop up right in the middle of the screen, IMHO. I tend to overlook it as single line at the top (or bottom).

I'd love to see those "styling" features available in pinentry-dmenu!

Hey @duckdalbe,

I already thought about that problem, but it didn't bother me enough.

I like your ideas. But currently I have not enough time to implement those features. Either you wait until I find some time or you send me a pull request and I'll merge it.

I'm not exactly fluent in C. I'll see if I maybe can get some help and give it a try. Otherwise I'll wait.

Thanks for considering!
