## Applications
🎨 BetterDiscord
### Overview
- ✔️ BetterDiscord is a client mod with endless flexibility and addons. The only limit to the customization is your own imagination.

- 🎨 BetterDiscord will help you have a beautiful and more useful user experience on Discord.
### Installation
1. Install [BetterDiscord](https://docs.betterdiscord.app/users/getting-started/installation#manual-installation).

```bash
# Fedora
sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core
sudo dnf copr enable observeroftime/betterdiscordctl
sudo dnf install betterdiscordctl

🌈 Pywal
### Overview
Pywal is a tool that generates a color palette from the dominant colors in an image. It then applies the colors system-wide and on-the-fly in all of your favourite programs.
### Installation
1. Install [pywal](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/Installation)
```bash
# Fedora
sudo dnf install python3
sudo pip3 install pywal

2. `wallpaper-picker.sh` calls pywal to generate color palette based on the wallpaper name (if the theme exists) or the dominant color of your wallpaper. i.e. I have `.config/wal/themes/Arknights.json` so if I set my wallpaper to `Arknights_Amiya` it applies the predefined theme rather than the dominant color of the wallpaper. It also calls `.config/wal/hooks/hooks.sh`.
3. `hooks.sh` syncs the theme across all of the applications that are being used.

🖼 wallpaper-picker.sh
### What it does
- Provides a wallpaper picker using **Wofi** with image thumbnails.
- Automatically applies Pywal colors, updates GNOME wallpaper, changes Fastfetch logo, and runs hooks.
- Integrates with **Pywalfox** to update Firefox theme.
### Notes on Color Backends
Pywal supports different color extraction backends that slightly change the generated palette.
You can switch backends by adding the `--backend` argument after `"$WAL_BIN" -i "$SELECTED"` in `wallpaper-picker.sh`.
- **wal (default)** → balanced palette, optimized for terminals.
- **colorz** → stronger contrast, fewer dominant colors. (Looks great on Chiori wallpapers).
- **haishoku** → softer palettes with lower contrast.
This setup is optimized for the default **wal** backend.
However, you can further customize the derived color variables if you’re not satisfied with the results:
- 🎶 For **Cava**, change the gradient source in `cava-pywalsync.sh`, e.g.
```bash
COLOR1=$(jq -r '.colors.color8' "$WAL_COLORS")
```
to
```bash
COLOR1=$(jq -r '.colors.color5' "$WAL_COLORS")
```
- 💬 For Discord, edit the variables inside `~/.config/BetterDiscord/bd-template.css`, replacing var(--color) with another Pywal color of your choice.
#### Installing extra backends
```bash
pip install colorz
pip install haishoku
```
#### Color Backend Palette Comparison

🎶 cava-pywalsync.sh
### What it does

💬 discord-pywalsync.sh
### What it does
- Updates **BetterDiscord’s** `custom.css` file using Pywal colors.

- Ensures Discord follows the same color scheme as the rest of your rice.
---
🖼 scaler-wallpaper.sh
### What it does
- Ensures all wallpapers are scaled to **1920x1080** resolution.

---
🚪 wlogout-pywalsync.sh

## 🛠 Help & Setup Guide
> [!WARNING]
> The instructions below will **overwrite your existing config files**.
> Don’t worry — your old configs will be safely moved into a backup folder with a timestamp.
Quick setup instructions:
### Option A — Automated install (recommended)
1. Clone the repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SeraphimeZelel/rion-ricing.git ~/.rion-dotfiles
cd ~/.rion-dotfiles
```
2. Run the combined installer
```bash
./install.sh
```
- Installs required applications for GNOME rice
- Creates symbolic links for configs into `~/.config`
- Links scripts from `.script/` into `~/.local/bin` and makes them executable
- Backs up existing configs/scripts into a timestamped folder in your home
> Note: If you only want to install applications, run `./install-apps.sh`.
### Option B — Manual steps
1. **Clone the repo**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/SeraphimeZelel/rion-ricing.git ~/.rion-dotfiles
```
2. **Symlink the config files**
```bash
#!/bin/bash
DOTFILES="$HOME/.rion-dotfiles/.config"
CONFIG="$HOME/.config"
BACKUP="$HOME/.config-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BACKUP"
for dir in "$DOTFILES"/*; do
name=$(basename "$dir")
# if ~/.config/dir exists, move it to backup
if [ -e "$CONFIG/$name" ]; then
echo "Backing up $CONFIG/$name → $BACKUP/$name"
mv "$CONFIG/$name" "$BACKUP/"
fi
# create symlink
echo "Linking $dir → $CONFIG/$name"
ln -s "$dir" "$CONFIG/$name"
done
echo "✅ All configs linked. Backup saved in $BACKUP"
```
3. **Symlink the scripts**
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
ln -s ~/.rion-dotfiles/.script/* ~/.local/bin
```
4. **Make scripts executable**
```bash
chmod +x ~/.local/bin/*
```
> Don’t forget to install GNOME extensions manually from https://extensions.gnome.org:
> Forge, Blur My Shell, Just Perfection, Open Bar, Quick Settings Tweaks.
## 📝 Notes
If `wallpaper-picker.sh` fails to set your wallpaper, try renaming the file with the prefix `Anything_`.
Example:
```
Endfield_NotReal.png
Endfield_Tomorrow.png
```
