Random wallpaper: Every time you switch between rices or reload bspwm with super + alt + r a new wallpaper is set depending on the rice you are on.
Super + Alt + w changes bethween different wallpapers in the actual rice.
Hide / Unhide Bar: (Polybar)
Change transparency on the fly:
Increase and decrease transparency in focused or selected window.
⚠️ Attention!!
The rices work on my computer because they were made on my machine with my resolution (1600x900). They should also work on your computer, but you'll have to modify a lot of things to make them work for you.
Please read the troubleshooting section at the end of this document.
🎨 The rices...
So yes... i called the Rices with the names of some of my ex girlfriends.

# For automatically launching mpd on login
systemctl --user enable mpd.service

Some tips
Wallpapers are in .webp image format, i added libwebp webp-pixbuf-loader packages for your filemanager (thunar in my case) have the capacity to show webp thumbnails.
If u dont wanna use the random wallpapers comment line 194 and uncomment line 195 from /home/YourUser/.config/bspwm/scripts/LaunchWorld file.
Left click in pacman updates module in polybar to update. Right click for show updates available only.
Troubleshooting
Bspwm Scripts or Launchers not responding
The proper execute permissions on some files should be maintained when you download/clone and copy to your directories, but if not just run the following line by line.
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/bspwmrc
chown $USER~/.config/bspwm/rice.cfg
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/scripts/{external_rules,getSongDuration,music,RandomWall,hu-polybar,LaunchWorld,RiceSelector,screenshoter,updates.sh,WeatherMini}
# In Cristina, Pamela, Andrea & z0mbi3 Rices, you need to give execution permissions to the shell scripts too.
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/pamela/widgets/{calendar,calendarlauncher,mplayer-launcher,power-launcher,profile-sys-launcher}
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/andrea/arin/sidedar/toggle_sidebar
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/andrea/arin/scripts/{battery,check-network,music_info,quotes,sys_info,system,volume.sh,widget_apps,widget_search}
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/cristina/widgets/mplayer-launcher
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/z0mbi3/bar/scripts/{battery,calendar,popup,volume.sh,wifi,workspace}
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/z0mbi3/dashboard/LaunchInfoCenter.sh
chmod +x ~/.config/bspwm/rices/z0mbi3/dashboard/scripts/weather
Weather module is showing wrong values
Yes the values are in my city "Mexico City" you need to edit ~/.config/bspwm/scripts/WeatherMini to set your city
In line 3 you will find this line weather=$(curl -s wttr.in/Mexico?format=3) You need to write your city, or postal code, please refer to the wttr.in Help
For the eww widget in z0mbi3 rice you need to edit ~/.config/bspwm/rices/z0mbi3/dashboard/scripts/weather in line 13 you need to change the ID for the ID of your city, you can get it from openweathermap
