## What it is
A curated set of Linux dotfiles providing an aesthetic Openbox window manager desktop environment, including configurations for tint2, rofi, dunst, urxvt, zsh, picom, mpv, and ncmpcpp. It serves as a reference or a full replication base for users who want a visually polished, lightweight Linux desktop 'rice'.

## Use cases
- rice my linux desktop with openbox
- find aesthetic openbox dotfiles to copy
- configure rofi tint2 and dunst with a matching theme
- set up zsh with oh-my-zsh and a custom prompt
- make mpv and ncmpcpp look modern with album art
- lightweight minimal linux desktop configuration reference
- customize urxvt terminal appearance

## When to choose
- you use Openbox or a lightweight X11 window manager on Linux and want a polished, cohesive desktop theme
- you want a reference for configuring tint2, rofi, dunst, picom, urxvt, or ncmpcpp
- you like the author's aesthetic and want to replicate or adapt the full setup

## When to avoid
- you use Wayland, GNOME, KDE, or another full desktop environment
- you want a supported product with guaranteed updates - the last release was 2022 and it is a personal config
- you need something that works out of the box without reading documentation and adjusting paths, fonts, and dependencies
