Din Rice - Sway Desktop Environment

A beautiful, dynamic Sway window manager configuration integrating Pywal, Waybar, and Rofi with dynamic textures (CRT scanlines, glass blur) depending on your wallpaper selection in real-time!

Themes in Action

Special Thanks: I was heavily inspired by the Ruixi-rebirth/sway-dotfiles repository. Thank you for the inspiration!

1. Backup your existing configurations (optional, the script will do it too):

   mv ~/.config/sway ~/.config/sway_bak
   mv ~/.config/waybar ~/.config/waybar_bak
   mv ~/.config/rofi ~/.config/rofi_bak

2. Clone and Run Installer:

   git clone https://github.com/Mustafaqe/dinrice.git ~/dinrice
   cd ~/dinrice
   chmod +x install.sh
   ./install.sh

3. Reload Sway: Press Mod + Shift + c. Waybar and Rofi will automatically boot up with the new configurations.

How to Add Your Own Wallpapers & Trigger Textures

Adding your own wallpaper is incredibly simple. This rice contains a custom dynamic engine built into set_wallpaper.sh that automatically themes Waybar and Rofi based on keywords in your wallpaper filename!

1. Add your wallpapers: Place any new .png, .jpg, or .webp inside the wallpaper directory: ~/.config/sway/wallpaper/

2. Trigger Dynamic Textures via Filename:

   • CRT Scanline Mode: If you rename your wallpaper file to include the word crt anywhere in the filename (e.g., synth_crt.png), Waybar and Rofi will automatically drop opacity and apply a retro CSS CRT scanline effect!
   • Glass / Blur Mode: If you rename your wallpaper to include the words glass or blur (e.g., mountains_blur.jpg), the components will become highly translucent, mimicking a frosted glass blur.
   • Default UI: If neither word is found, menus will fall back to beautiful, opaque colors matched perfectly to the image using Pywal.

3. Change the Wallpaper: Press your bound shortcut (likely Alt + Space or through your Rofi menu) to open the Wallpaper selector and pick your new image. All system colors and menu textures will shift simultaneously!
