+This script lets you interact with a custom *actions menu* based on [dmenu].
 
 The idea is to expand on the basic functionality of **dmenu** by defining
 personal commands, applications, routines and other scripts to run with it.

 ## Installation
 
-**Note:** It only works on <u>Ubuntu</u> or <u>Arch</u> based distributions,
-since it uses either `apt` or `pacman` to install.
+This project consists of a single bash script.  
+To "install" it, copy it to the `bin` directory and give it executable
+permissions.
 
-```shell
-git clone https://github.com/marcoplaitano/evemenu
-cd evemenu && ./install.sh
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/marcoplaitano/evemenu && cd evemenu
+sudo cp evemenu /usr/local/bin/evemenu
+sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/evemenu
 ```
 
-The `install.sh` script clones and installs [my own patched version] of
-**dmenu** with all its dependencies.
-
-**Note:** `evemenu` will be in `$HOME/.local/bin`; make sure this is in `$PATH`.
+**Note**: it relies on the **dmenu** utility; you can install it from
+[this repository].

-## Configuration
-
-The script takes no command line arguments; all the options have to be manually
-edited in the file itself.
+Launch the script with the `evemenu` command.
 
 ### Appearance
 
-You can customize the appearance of dmenu.  
-The program accepts custom values for the font and the colors of normal/selected
-items.
+You can customize the appearance with custom values for the font, the
+background and foreground colors.  
+These are defined as variables in the script itself.
 
 ### Actions
 
 The most important part of the script is the dictionary containing all the
 actions that can be executed.  
-The values are the routines to run and the keys are the names the user has to
-type to execute the commands.

-    [nightmode]="night_mode.sh --now"
+    [chatgpt]="firefox https://chat.openai.com/"
+    [nightmode]="night_mode.sh --on"
     [spotify]="spotify"
