My first Arch rice, documented for the sole purpose of obnoxiously bragging about it on r/UnixPorn and saying "I use arch BTW" all the time.
It's called this way because of the wallpaper. Yeah couldnt come up with a better name.
I'm going to put stuff that could look obvious or dumb to general arch users, but useful for beginners such as me while making this rice.
For information, my usual use of this computer will be for coding all kinds of things mostly, so this rice is pretty much adapted to that use.
Pokeget, Thunderbird
You can download a script that'll set everything up at this link.
The color schemes were made using pywal with the wallpaper, that can be found in the .config under sway config directory.
Its values are the following :
- #050505
- #9E4427
- #927061
- #A58975
- #6C7C81
- #6A9599
- #A0A29C

PywalFox is used as a local utility and an extension for Firefox and Thunderbird. It uses the last cached values from wal.
vscode-wal-theme extension. Just as the one in Mozilla apps, this onme checks the last wal generated files to get the color scheme.
I use zsh-syntax-highlighting.
For autosuggestions, I use zsh-autosuggestions.
I use a customized refined.
The rice is based off vanilla Arch, with a Walyand compositor called Sway, that is made to be similar to i3. In the same attempt, there is Waybar that's made to be compatible with Polybar.
