+# Fuzzel Expand Animation Patch
+
+Adds a smooth expand animation when fuzzel opens.
+
+[Fuzzel](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel) is an app launcher and fuzzy finder for Wayland, inspired by rofi(1) and dmenu(1). 
+
+## Usage
+1. Clone fuzzel: `git clone https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel.git`
+2. Apply patch: `git apply 0001-fuzzel-animation.patch`
+3. Build normally: [Fuzzel Installation](https://codeberg.org/dnkl/fuzzel#installation)
