Pywal Mode

Greg edited this page Mar 5, 2021 · 8 revisions

Pywal Mode depends on pywal so make sure it's installed and working properly before activating this mode

Sunpaper can call pywal to set a new color scheme with each dynamic wallpaper change. This is pretty awesome.

Enable this mode with:
pywalmode_enable="true"

If you like to use pywal with specific options you may set them here:
pywal_options=""

for example to prevent reload and use a custom color backend:
pywal_options="-e --backend colorthief"

Set pywal options that will be used only during the DAY or NIGHT:
pywal_options_day=""
pywal_options_night=""

For example to use pywal light themes during the day:
pywal_options_day="-l"

Some pywal options like themes would be in conflict with setting colors by image. If you wish to use pywal themes, set these to false to disable setting colors by image.
pywal_image_day="true"
pywal_image_night="true"
