2.0.2

• Fixed bug where wal -R wouldn't work.
• Various cleanup and refactoring.
• Proper arg handling for -R, -i and --theme.

2.0.1

• Fixed a bug where pywal wasn't updating files.
• Fixed a bug where pywal would crash if you tried to redirect it's output.

2.0.0

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:

• schemer2: https://github.com/thefryscorer/schemer2
• colorthief: https://github.com/fengsp/color-thief-py
• colorz: https://github.com/metakirby5/colorz
• haishoku: https://github.com/LanceGin/haishoku

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.
