One centred rofi panel (super+x, or the gear in the bar) now drives network,
bluetooth, audio, WireGuard, display, notifications, clipboard, emoji,
screenshots, wallpaper, the particle layer, the bar and power. The separate
per-function menus are gone.
dunst: icons and images were disabled outright (icon_position=off,
max_icon_size=0). Now icons resolve through Papirus, images render, progress
bars are styled, notifications gap and stack, and fullscreen windows are not
covered unless the message is critical. Volume up/down never notified at all;
they now show a stacking OSD with a progress bar.
Removed things that were broken or belonged to whoever this rice came from:
- vpn-launcher.sh (mullvad/openvpn) and dc-multivpn
- audio/bluetooth/network/power rofi menus, folded into the control centre
- untar-all, unzip-all, resetxdgportal (unreferenced)
- a sxhkd binding hardcoded to /home/sarthak/projects/scribe
- clipboard-manager.sh keyed off XDG_SESSION_TYPE, which is 'tty' here, so it
only ever printed a Russian error; rewritten on greenclip
- toggle-bar.sh was bound to super+b but did not exist; written

qt6ct does not expand ~ in color_scheme_path, so the custom palette was
silently ignored. Papirus ships blue folders by default, which matches the
sky accent without papirus-folders.

GTK4 ignores gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme, and did not follow the
portal's prefer-dark either, so Adwaita stayed light while the custom css
darkened only some surfaces - that is why pavucontrol had dark-grey labels
on dark backgrounds and a white content pane. GTK_THEME=Adwaita:dark fixes
GTK3 and GTK4 together.
Also recolour the stale ~/.themes Terminal-Dark leftovers, point gtk-4.0 at
a theme and icon set that exist, and start the particle layer from bspwmrc.

Palette sampled from bspwm/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg and applied per-role
(not per-hex, so terminal green stays green and nvim's LineNr/Comment
stay recessive) across st, kitty, polybar, rofi, dunst, nvim, qt5ct/qt6ct
and GTK 2/3/4.
Also:
- rofi drun centred, icons enabled
- polybar translucent (true ARGB) and rounded; picom corner-radius, with
the desktop layer and fullscreen windows excluded
- fix qt5ct color_scheme_path pointing at a nonexistent /home/carrie
- export QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME so qt6ct is actually consulted
- point GTK at an icon theme that exists on this system
- add .config/rice: one-shot install.sh (--dry-run supported), package
list, vendored st config.h (gitignored upstream) and the particles
wallpaper-layer source, so a clone reproduces the rice
