🚀 New Features

09 February 2023

I added to the environment the possibility to choose between 2 terminals Alacritty and termite.

Termite has always been the one used in my dotfiles. It works fast and without problems. But it has to be compiled and it's a bit old.

Alacritty is modern, fast and the best, should work on your machine.

To open the terminal menu press Super + Alt + t

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
THIS DOTFILES ARE CONFIGURED AT 1600x900 WITH 96 DPI! 1 MONITOR SOME STUFF MIGHT BREAK ON LOWER OR HIGHER RESOLUTIONS BUT WILL STILL WORK!

📦 setup

💾 Installation:

The installer only works for ARCH Linux, and based distros.

Open a terminal

• First download the installer

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gh0stzk/dotfiles/master/RiceInstaller

• Now give it execute permissions

chmod +x RiceInstaller

• Finally run the installer

./RiceInstaller

Some tips

• The wallpapers are in webp format because I don't want the repository to be too heavy. I Added the packages libwebp and webp-pixbuf-loader to the dependencies in order for your file browser (in my case thunar) to be able to display the thumbnails. However, you can add more wallpapers in the format you want "jpg, png etc..."
• If u dont wanna use the random wallpapers comment line 214 and uncomment line 215 from /home/YourUser/.config/bspwm/scripts/LaunchWorld file.
• Left click in pacman updates module in polybar to update. Right click for show updates available only.

Troubleshooting

• Weather module is showing wrong values

Yes the values are in my city "Mexico City" you need to edit ~/.config/bspwm/scripts/WeatherMini to set your city In line 3 you will find this line weather=$(curl -s wttr.in/Mexico?format=3) You need to write your city, or postal code, please refer to the wttr.in Help

For the eww widget in z0mbi3 rice you need to edit ~/.config/bspwm/scripts/weather in line 12 you need to change the name of your city, you can get it from openweathermap
