stow: Merge wal with bspwm
Realistically, you won't need my wal config if you are not using my
bspwm setup, since wal does a good job at otherwise changing most other
color schemes that you may find in, e.g., a GNOME or Plasma setup.

# bspwm
I use `bspwm` as my window manager of choice. My setup is optimized for HiDPI, so you will have to manually adjust the numbers if you aren't using a HiDPI display.
## Dependencies
- [bspwm][bspwm] - Window manager
- [polybar][polybar] - Panel
- [dunst][dunst] - Notifications
- [rofi][rofi] - Window switcher, application launcher, and dmenu replacement
- [sxhkd][sxhkd] - Keybinds
- [rxvt-unicode-patched][rxvt-unicode-patched] - Terminal with image support
- [termite][termite] - Terminal with true transparency, icon fonts, true color, and emoji support
- [python-pywal][python-pywal] - A universal color scheme changer
- [feh][feh] - Used to set the background image
## Installation
```sh
make package=bspwm
```
## Usage
Either `startx` directly or use a display manager. Assuming you have the necessary dependencies installed, and assuming you configured your system properly, everything should just work.
## Note
When you use `wal` to change the color scheme, add `-o ~/.config/wal/done.sh` to run the done script. The [fish](/fish) abbreviation `w` does this automatically for you.
