Instead of manually changing every instance where a program could run to
use the config in the cache directory, and instead of copying files
every time pywal is updated, it makes sense to create symbolic links for
these files instead.
This ensures that the right settings are used even without knowing the
passed parameters.
Before pkill would try to terminate the script since it had "dunst" in
its name. This is the solution for that, and it also makes adding new
commands in the future easier.
Termite works exceptionally well as a transparent terminal, so I'll just
let termite focus on true color, transparency, and displaying emoji
while urxvt focuses on universal theme changing and images in the
terminal.
There doesn't seem to be a terminal out there (yet) that handles both of
these things in all the software I want, so this compromise is good
enough.
This commit makes the post-wal script a bit more aware of its
environment. This is only to support Plasma with bspwm, which
needs the bspwm settings but not the dunst settings.
Since bspwm with KDE settings performs exceptionally well, I may drop
Plasma with bspwm support altogether and revert this commit at a later
date. The overhead of wmctrl and grep may not be worth it.
Additionally, the filename should probably be changed to a more
generic one in order to support more software as needed.
pywal (also known as wal) lets us change color schemes with a cache
directory instead of editing config files directly. This helps us
separate the dotfiles from the color schemes.
This commit removes explicit color settings from my dotfiles, which are
now managed by pywal. Dunst has been added to show any notifications
that I may want to use in the future. The colors.Xresources file is used
to prevent urxvt from using a depth of 32.
My custom colors.vim file has been removed in favor of wal.vim, which
solves some problems I had to manually resolve myself and should make
things easier to maintain in the long term.
Note that pywal also supports base16 color schemes, as well as any other
color scheme you can think of.
