## Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- `linux`
|
||||
- `python 3.6`
|
||||
- `imagemagick`
|
||||
- Colorscheme generation.
|
||||
- `xfce`, `gnome`, `cinnamon`, `mate`
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
### Terminal Emulator
|
||||
|
||||
To use `wal` your terminal emulator must support a special type of escape sequence. The command below can be used as a test to see if `wal` will work with your setup.
|
||||
|
||||
Run the command below, does the background color of your terminal become red?
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
printf "%b" "\033]11;#ff0000\007"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If your terminal's background color is now red, your terminal should work with `wal`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

## Installation

|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
## Getting Started
|
||||
|
||||
**NOTE:** If you get junk in your terminal, add `-t` to all of the `wal` commands.
|
||||
https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/Getting-Started
|
||||
|
||||
### Applying the theme to new terminals.
|
||||
|
||||
`wal` only applies the new colors to the currently open terminals. Any new terminal windows you open won't be using the new theme unless you add a single line to your shell's start up file. (`.bashrc`, `.zshrc` etc.) The `-r` flags tells `wal` to find the current colorscheme inside the cache and then set it for the new terminal.
|
||||
|
||||
Add this line to your shell startup file. (`.bashrc`, `.zshrc` or etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Import colorscheme from 'wal'
|
||||
(wal -r &)
|
||||
|
||||
# If the command above doesn't work,
|
||||
# try this alternative.
|
||||
setsid wal -r
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how the extra syntax above works:
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
& # Run the process in the background.
|
||||
( ) # Hide shell job control messages.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Making the colorscheme persist on reboot.
|
||||
|
||||
On reboot your new colorscheme won't be set or in use. To fix this you have to add a line to your `.xinitrc` or whatever file starts programs on your system. This `wal` command will set your wallpaper to the wallpaper that was set last boot and also apply the colorscheme again.
|
||||
|
||||
Without this you'll be themeless until you run `wal` again on boot.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
# Add this to your .xinitrc or whatever file starts programs on startup.
|
||||
wal -i "$(< "${HOME}/.cache/wal/wal")"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Run `wal` and point it to either a directory (`wal -i "path/to/dir"`) or an image (`wal -i "/path/to/img.jpg"`) and that's all. `wal` will change your wallpaper for you and also set your terminal colors.
|
||||
|
||||
```sh
|
||||
usage: wal [-h] [-c] [-i "/path/to/img.jpg"]
|
||||
[-f "/path/to/colorscheme/file"] [-n] [-o "script_name"]
|
||||
[-q] [-r] [-t] [-v]
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
optional arguments:
|
||||
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
||||
-c Delete all cached colorschemes.
|
||||
-i "/path/to/img.jpg"
|
||||
Which image or directory to use.
|
||||
-f "/path/to/colorscheme/file"
|
||||
Which colorscheme file to use.
|
||||
-n Skip setting the wallpaper.
|
||||
-o "script_name" External script to run after "wal".
|
||||
-q Quiet mode, don"t print anything and don't display
|
||||
notifications.
|
||||
-r Reload current colorscheme.
|
||||
-t Fix artifacts in VTE Terminals. (Termite,
|
||||
xfce4-terminal)
|
||||

|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
