2.0.0 - 2018-04-01

This is a big release and I've probably broken something. Expect a minor release or two to fix any bugs that arise. Users of wpgtk I recommend not updating pywal until @deviantfero adds support for the new release. wpgtk is now supported.

It's going to take me some time to update the documentation (I've got a total rewrite planned). Bear with me.

General

  • xrdb: Added missing background and foreground values.
  • image: Fixed crash when using light themes and gifs.
  • args: Added -t to disable pywal in ttys.
  • args: -R now works with theme files.
  • sequences: Save sequence file with -s. @Amar1729
  • misc: Added proper logging to pywal.
  • misc: Added palette to console output.
  • misc: Added colors/bold to console output.

Backends

pywal now has support for different color generation backends. In addition to pywal's default color generation, support was added for:

Usage:

  • wal --backend lists all available backends.
  • wal --backend colorz -i img.jpg sets the backend.
  • wal --backend random uses a backend at random.

If you know of any other color generation programs let me know and I'll see if I can add backends for them.

Themes

You can now store colorschemes in files and manage them using pywal. There are a bunch of colorschemes included with pywal and I will happily accept PRs to add more.

  • wal --theme lists all available built-in themes.
  • wal --theme theme-name applies a theme.
  • wal --theme random applies a theme at random.
  • Themes can be added locally at ~/.config/wal/colorschemes.
  • wal --theme can be used with colorschemes exported in json format from https://terminal.sexy/. wal --theme /path/to/file loads a scheme from a file.

[Installation](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/Installation)

This release of pywal contains some large changes and may very well break things for some users. Expect bugs and expect additional releases to fix them. The version has been bumped to 1.0.0 as I'm now happy with where pywal is feature-wise.

The goal for the future is improving the schemes that pywal generates. Feel free to send me your wallpapers that generate subpar schemes and I'll use them in my testing data.

Removal of -r

The flag -r was removed as it was basically a glorified cat of the sequences file with 300ms of python overhead. The new recommended way to load the schemes is to replace wal -r with cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences.

Removal of -t

Yup! The -t flag to fix garbage in VTE terminals (termite, xfce4-terminal, gnome-terminal) is no longer needed. I've come up with a workaround that really shouldn't work but does. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The problem: The sequence \033[708;#000000\007 is unsupported by VTE and VTE's sequence parsing doesn't hide unknown sequences, instead it just displays them as plain text. We can't add an if statement or a check for VTE terminals as we're writing to each terminal via it's file descriptor. The only thing that is interpreted is escape sequences.

The workaround: The problem sequence is wrapped in a series of other escape sequences so that the unsupported sequence isn't echo'd to the terminal.

How it works:

# \0337                # Save cursor position.
# \033[1000H           # Move the cursor off screen.
# \033[8m              # Conceal text.
# \033]708;#000000\007 # Garbage sequence.
# \0338                # Restore cursor position.

\0337\033[1000H\033[8m\033]708;#000000\007\0338

This took a lot of trial and error to make sure it works across all terminals and doesn't cause issues for underlying terminal programs.

Added User Template Support

You can now define your own custom pywal template files or you can overwrite the default template files. Any files stored in ~/.config/wal/templates will be processed and exported to ~/.cache/wal/ under the same name.

The user template files follow the exact same syntax as the built-in templates. See the built-in templates for syntax examples: https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/tree/master/pywal/templates

For example: To define a custom rofi template file to set the background transparent.

Save this file to ~/.config/wal/templates/colors-rofi.Xresources and re-run wal. Rofi will now use the colors defined below instead.

#define BG #CC{background.strip}
#define HI #CC{color1.strip}
#define FG {color15}
#define TX {color15}

! State:           bg, fg, bg2,  hlbg, hlfg
rofi.color-normal: BG, FG, BG,   HI,   TX
rofi.color-active: BG, FG, BG,   HI,   TX
rofi.color-urgent: BG, HI, BG,   HI,   FG
rofi.color-window: BG, BG, BG
