The repo landing page showed .config, .themes and .gtkrc-2.0 and nothing else,
so there was no sign the bootstrap existed. It has always been at
.config/rice/install.sh - that is just where it lands on disk. Root README now
carries the curl one-liner, a map of what is tracked, and a note that this is a
bare repo over $HOME so nobody goes looking for a wrapper folder again.
Things that would not have survived a replication:
- polybar's click and scroll handlers called $HOME/bin/system-info.sh and
$HOME/bin/volume.sh. That directory does not exist; the scripts are in
.config/scripts. The exec lines already pointed there, so only the
interactive bits were dead.
- bspwmrc hardcoded DisplayPort-0, so no desktops on any other machine.
Takes the xrandr primary now, falling back to the first monitor bspc sees.
- install.sh picked conflicting files out of git's checkout error with a
regex that required a dot inside the name, so .bashrc and .xinitrc were
never matched and never backed up - and .bashrc always exists on a fresh
Arch install, which is precisely when the checkout aborts.
- bspwmrc sourced ~/.env and merged ~/.Xresources unconditionally; neither
exists. Guarded.
packages.txt was missing programs whose configs this repo already carries:
fish, neovim, yazi, kitty, plus xrdb/xsetroot/xsettingsd/wmname that bspwmrc
launches, gtk3 for the control panel, and wireplumber for the wpctl calls.
Newly tracked: .xinitrc (the thing that actually starts bspwm), .bashrc (which
holds the dotfiles alias), greenclip, flameshot, kitty, Thunar, mimeapps and
user-dirs. Dropped six editor backups that had been committed by accident.
Skipped QtProject.conf - it is file-dialog history, not configuration.

Sakura Line
bspwm rice. Palette sampled from ~/.config/bspwm/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg.
Replicate on a fresh machine
bash <(curl -fsSL https://git.srtk.in/sarthak/dotfiles/raw/branch/main/.config/rice/install.sh)
Or, if the dotfiles are already cloned:
~/.config/rice/install.sh # full run
~/.config/rice/install.sh --dry-run # show what it would do, change nothing
Arch is the first-class target. Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora are best-effort — the desktop, build and theming steps work; the AUR extras are skipped.
The script is safe to re-run. Anything in $HOME that would be overwritten by
the dotfiles checkout is moved to ~/.rice-backup-<timestamp>/ first.
What it sets up
| WM | bspwm + sxhkd |
| Bar | polybar (translucent, rounded) |
| Compositor | picom (rounded corners, vsync) |
| Launcher | rofi, centred, with icons |
| Notifications | dunst |
| Terminal | st, built from st/config.h here (upstream gitignores it) |
| Wallpaper layer | particles, built from particles/ here |
| Toolkits | GTK2/3/4 via gtk.css overrides, Qt via qt6ct |
Control centre
super + x, or the gear at the right of the bar, opens one centred GTK panel
that drives everything. Press it again to close. It is a real window, so the
sliders are live and stepping back between views never redraws the panel:
| Network | Wi-Fi on/off, rescan, pick a network (password prompt inline) |
| Bluetooth | power on/off, scan, connect/disconnect paired devices |
| Audio | live volume and microphone sliders; click the icon to mute |
| VPN | WireGuard up/down via systemctl wg-quick@… |
| Notifications | do-not-disturb toggle |
| Clipboard / Screenshot / Display | greenclip, flameshot, resolution |
| Wallpaper / Particles | shuffle, toggle the particle layer |
| Power | lock, log out, suspend, reboot, shut down |
Escape steps back from a subview; Escape on the main view closes it. The panel grabs the seat like rofi does, so it keeps focus wherever the pointer is.

Changing the wallpaper does not re-derive these — they are written into each app's config.
