# Main things used for rice:

- Colloid GTK Theme *or* adw-gtk3

- Whisker Menu

- Papirus Icon Theme

- lightdm-slick-greeter

### Tips:

- It might be useful to install extra packages like `xfce4-goodies`, `pavucontrol`, `lightdm-slick-greeter`, `gvfs`, `catfish`. Refer to `*.packages`, which are examples of all the packages installed. Don't just blindly install all the packages there though.

- Use `gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme prefer-dark` to make GTK4 apps prefer dark theme.

- Stuff to download (outside official repos):

    - [lightdm-settings](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lightdm-settings)

    - [Colloid GTK Theme](https://github.com/vinceliuice/Colloid-gtk-theme)

# Installation:

Install the prerequisites (refer to the previous section) and clone this repo.  

Copy the content of the `config` folder to your `~/.config`.

You can overwrite SOME files if needed. Review the changes first.  

### Notes:

- Copy the files while logged into a tty and not a DE for the changes to actually take effect.    

- You might want to skip copying some highly specific config files like Keyboard layouts and Monitor config.
