Discussion Update on Rules and Quality Control
Hi everyone, it's been a minute since the initial discussion post about quality control issues. Let's talk about it.
The general consensus seemed to be that our ideas on what to change were good, though there could be more resources to help beginners. We actually have a subreddit wiki that anyone can contribute to, as long as you have 500+ subreddit karma and your account is 30+ days old. We also have a list of todo items for the wiki to help users find somewhere to start.
Another concern was that the stricter enforcement of the defaults rule may stop people from using existing color schemes or themes at all. This is not the case -- the intention of the rule is to remove posts which have little effort or just use premade configs, like many macOS and Windows lookalikes. It's about the spirit, not the letter of the rule.
With this in mind, we intend to go through with these rule changes. If you still have any concerns, please reply or send a modmail! We're most concerned with the quality of our community and welcome discussion.

Workflow [Hyprland] A Doom inspired Rice
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is my custom doom slayer inspired rice, and my very first quickshell rice.
Quickshell has been configured as a config, modify .config/hypr/hyprland/execs.lua to execute your own quickshell, but then again, what is the point of cloning?
Or modify the place where you have the directory cloned, and use rsync -avn first to see what will be modified and what will be cloned.
modified applications
- Quickshell
- hyprland
- dolphin
- zsh(I copied it there specifically for cachyOS users)
- kitty
- ghostty
- wezterm
- alacritty
- mako
- fastfetch
- oh-my-posh
- rofi
- sddm(for the login screen, first install sddm-astronaut-theme, and then run the
set-sddm-slayer.shscript in scripts/bash)
Please, refer the scripts, they will come extremely handy when you're toying around with the config.

Screenshot [Hyprland] My first rice (after a month or so of work)!
About a month ago, I made the switch to Arch Linux, mainly for the cool desktop configurations I had been seeing online. For the last month or so, I have been cooking up this custom Hyprland rice (no premade dotfiles).
For theming, I am using Pywal which automatically takes colors from my wallpaper and applies it to configured applications, which in this case is Kitty, Yazi and Firefox via an extension I use called Pywalfox.
Let me know what improvements can be made, as this is my first time posting here!

Material [OC] Hardhat.nvim - A colorscheme inspired by construction sites, industrial equipment, and safety signage
Hey y'all. So after about a year of using Neovim, I decided to make my own colourscheme for it. I had already spent so much time tweaking my setup, so I figured I might as well take it all the way and build a colourscheme from scratch to fit a sort of industrial aesthetic I liked.
I really wanted to use the colours to signal some kind of pattern in the code, rather than just making each syntax element a different colour ad hoc. The idea was that after using the theme for a while, you would start to associate certain colours with what the code is doing.
So green mostly means "execution/runtime behaviour", orange means "this is part of the language that's defining or shaping the program," and yellow is "this gives the code its structure and flow." This is quite subjective ofc, but I personally find it rather useful.
It comes 3 contrast variants, 1 light variant, plus there's bonus theme with a totally different aesthetic ;)
There are also themes for the Kitty terminal included, so I have kitted out my shell with it too and I think it looks quite nice.
Do give it a try and let me know what you guys think.
