rice-cooker

rice cooker

a visual (toy) tool for ricing hyprland.

browse rices, try them live on your desktop, and install them with a keyboard click. if you don't like what you see, revert returns you to the original rice you started with.

rice cooker only points quickshell at your selected rice. it does not overwrite your existing files or directories, and does not modify your dotfiles.

notice

rice cooker currently only works on arch + hyprland and only contains quickshell rices. close any non-quickshell rice when using.

rice cooker's boot screen automatically rejects non-supported setups. forcible entry is possible but rice at your own risk.
