Desktop shot at .config/rice/screenshot.webp, shown at the top of the root README and the rice one. Converted from the source PNG: it was 2.36 MB, and PNG recompression only got it to 2.30 MB because the sakura wallpaper is a photo. WebP at q90 is 0.38 MB with the terminal text still sharp at 1:1, which is worth it in a repo the installer clones in full.

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.
