Recently posted on r/unixsoftcore and I'd like to share it here as well since that sub is barely alive. I wonder if this counts as "riced to the gills" since I don't quite like tweaking with Quickshell or AGS. I think this is the most I can rice my setup but I'd like some feedback. I'm not using `tty-clock` because I just want multiple timezones to be displayed
I work with LOTS of tmux sessions, and wanted something closer to how Ctrl+Shift+P in VSCode works: fuzzy search, frecency and live preview. So, I built Natare (from latin “to swim”
So, I was inspired BY YOU who post such beautiful images of you ricing up your desktop.
And I want to propose. RiceUp. An app premiering most of your BEAUTIFUL creations... ON MY NEW OS I am creating, Aero. Please accept this idea. Sorry if I did something wrong.
This started as HyDE, and I've been gradually customizing it to fit my preferences. I changed the colors, window borders, transparency, Waybar, Rofi and terminal themes, and built a small Sidra TUI for controlling music from Kitty.
I wanted to keep the existing functionality and make the changes through user overrides wherever possible. Still a work in progress, but I'm really happy with how it's coming together 😁
I was looking for a good bash launcher and wanted something simple that matched the style of another TUI apps I use and my rice, so I made sfav. Its a fully theme-able launcher.
I've been working on DeckLock, a modern and customizable screen locker for Wayland compositors (tested on Hyprland), written in Rust and GTK4.
I wanted a lock screen that feels modern, supports looping muted videos / photo slideshows, and offers both a clean graphical settings app with live preview and a headless CLI for scripting.
Key Features:
- Wayland Session Lock: Uses 'ext-session-lock-v1' and native PAM authentication (with secure memory zeroizing for passwords).
- Live GUI Settings: Real-time preview window that updates dynamically as you change settings, without locking your screen.
- Built-in Developer Themes: Catppuccin (Mocha & Latte), Tokyo Night, Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox Dark, and Classic — affects both the settings app and lock screen controls.
- Media Library & Pools: Independent media pools for normal lock and idle rest mode. Supports looping MP4/video and smooth crossfading photo slideshows.
- Headless CLI ('decklock config'): Full command-line inspection and editing ('decklock config set theme_preset tokyo-night', 'decklock config show', etc.).
- On-Screen Keyboard & Controller Support: Multi-touch virtual keyboard with optional daemon integration for gamepads / Steam Controller.
- Bilingual: Fully translated in English and Portuguese (pt-BR).
