I’ve been ricing my desktop slowly over the years (don’t have a lot of time). I’ve gotten it somewhat down to what I like. I use Archlinux with Open box, polybar, and rofi. I don’t use a desktop environment. My question is what are my options for ricing default applications like dolphin or similar apps with default gui’s (xsensors) without using a packaged desktop environment. I believe my default theme and icons are Adwaita (GTK-3)

    Kvantun for qt themes and lxappearance for gtk themes. In either one you’d have to first download a theme you want and apply it via correct program. You may have to export a shell variable to tell programs to actually use that theme (may not be necessary, I use a lot of flatpaks so for me it is)

    The easiest way to get uniform colors in my experience is to full screen a program running the theme, use a dropper tool in Kolourpaint, see the hex color for what I want to change, then search for that hex in the theme file and change it to the one that matches my rice.
