this repo contains 3 templates for use with pywal16:

• pywal.json: template for the gradience theme
• pywal.kvconfig: template for the kvconfig part of the kvantum theme
• pywal.svg: template for the svg component of the kvantum theme

after installing pywal16 and the desired backends, copy the templates into the user template directory "${HOME}"/.config/wal/templates/ run the wal command to generate or use your desired theme

you can easy install the templates with the provided makefile

then copy the built templates to the corresponding directories like this:

cp -f "${HOME}"/.cache/wal/pywal.json "${HOME}"/.var/app/com.github.GradienceTeam.Gradience/config/presets/user/pywal.json

mkdir -p "${HOME}"/.config/Kvantum/pywal
cp "${HOME}"/.cache/wal/pywal.kvconfig "${HOME}"/.config/Kvantum/pywal/pywal.kvconfig
cp "${HOME}"/.cache/wal/pywal.svg "${HOME}"/.config/Kvantum/pywal/pywal.svg

alternatively use the provided script, apply-theme.sh

TODO:

• write a python script to get colors from pywal and adjust them without a template
• complete the build-kvantum.py script so that the kvantum theme can be built programatically without a template
• turn the kvantum script into a proper gradience plugin
