[SOLVED] Rofi with icons

Hi everyone. Im trying to get rofi icons working. Im using Helium with stretch repositories but my version of rofi (1.3.1-2) dont support -show-icons parameter. Sid rofi version (1.5.1) is not compatible with streetch lic6 version package. Any idea of how to get it work?
Thanks!

You could try backporting the buster/sid version. A basic guide is here...

I can't test if it will build, I don't have a stretch install ATM. If it fails, you can try building it from the Git source...
