❓ What is a rice?

Ricing refers to the process of customizing the visual appearance and functionality of a desktop environment, usually in Linux or Unix-based systems.
It involves tweaking themes, icons, fonts, and configurations to achieve a unique and aesthetically pleasing interface.
A well-customized setup, called a "rice", showcases the user's attention to detail, personality and creativity.

Take a look at r/unixporn for inspiration.

🤔 What does PimpMyRice do?

PimpMyRice allows you to generate, organize and apply themes to your system.
It applies them through modules, each module being responsible for styling a specific program (eg: discord).
