It also calls .config/wal/hooks/hooks.sh.

Script

Warning

🖼 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.

  COLOR1=$(jq -r '.colors.color8' "$WAL_COLORS")
  

  to

  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

pip install colorz
pip install haishoku

🛠 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

   git clone https://github.com/SeraphimeZelel/rion-ricing.git ~/.rion-dotfiles
   cd ~/.rion-dotfiles
   

2. Run the combined installer

   ./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

   git clone https://github.com/SeraphimeZelel/rion-ricing.git ~/.rion-dotfiles
   

2. Symlink the config files

    #!/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

   mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
   ln -s ~/.rion-dotfiles/.script/* ~/.local/bin
   

4. Make scripts executable

   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
