i3-individual-workspace-actions VS pywal

pywal is used to get the colorscheme from my wallpaper for my browser and terminal. left: neovim, top right: qutebrowser, bottom right: cava

I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

pywal and a pretty desktop background. Just don't tell unixporn that you took the easy route.

Have you tested https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal on its own?

There’s a program called pywal that has pretty decent instructions on getting the themes it generates to be used by various programs. pywal GitHub repo. Check out the wiki on that page.

I'd definitely look into pywal for that, it's like a colorscheme manager that fills in templates (some already implemented but it also supports user templates) from either a color scheme you define or by color picking an image

pywal also has its own themes. https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal

pywal and wpgtk would be nice for desktop theming!
