🎨 Theme Configuration

Manual Theme Selection

You can manually set a theme by executing the following script:

$ ./path/to/script/set_theme.sh [num]

Where [num] corresponds to the theme options:

• 1 🏙️ Everforest
• 2 🌇 Gruvbox
• 3 🌆 Tokyo Night
• 4 🌃 Nord

Automated Theme Switching

Alternatively, you can automate theme changes based on the time of day using a cronjob with environment variables. Here's an example:

# Set up a cronjob to change the theme every day at 8:00, 12:00, 16:00 and 20:00.

DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
DISPLAY=:0
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000

0 8,12,16,20 * * * ~/path/to/script/set_theme.sh

Note: Adjust the paths and environment variables according to your specific setup.

🖇️ Dependencies

You can read about the packages I use on the wiki. To easily set up the dotfiles you can run link_files.sh from the repo root to make the necessary symlinks. Similarly on a fresh Arch install, you can run rice_desktop.sh from the repo root to set your desktop just like mine.

For the Polybar weather module to work, you should create a ~/.env file, containing your location id and api key. For more information, consult here.
