Pywal integration

[forgeofsvarog]

No documentation/tips for integrating this for pywal users (everything I have is rigged for pywal and not WPGTK). Any hints?

Hi , The easiest way is just to use wpgtk with wal backend , it will write write the colors for pywal so you don't have to change your setup to pywal .
Any app that uses pywal will work just fine if you use wpgtk , Could You try to do that ?
Other than this I think you have to make a script that take the old color form pywal and new color , so the color replacement work

Thanks for getting back to me. I have tried your suggestions - Something isn't working properly on my end; it seems like just tweaking your scripts would be a very easy fix, but I can't quite figure out how I should do that. Could you give me an overview explanation on how the scripts use the color reference from WPGTK to make the new icons? If I can understand that, I can just modify it to use my pywal cache. I've been looking through the scripts and unable to figure it out so far, because I am new to this stuff (: Thanks for any advice.

would be a very easy fix, but I can't quite figure out how I should do that.

I can't tell you exactly to do something when i don't know what is making the the problem .

But in general they way that this work is with three two main scripts .

• change_folder_file.sh is used as a template from wpgtk , which have the new color and the old color -if you want to use pywal you have to make a script that have the new and the old main color to this script, not sure if pywal could do it without scripting- and it replaces the value of the old color to the new one , to any given file that have this value.
• change_all_folders.sh is the second script just runs the first script for all .svg icons
• the last script in the same directory is just to insure that everything going ok .

BTW it works the same FlattrColor icons work which they come with wpgtk could you you can try to install them in with this command if you still have wpgtk /usr/bin/wpg-install.sh -i then apply a theme using wpgtk not pywal , and then check if it is still not working , becasue I can't figure it out is It my installation script making the problem ?!
