variety VS pywal

This! https://github.com/varietywalls/variety

Seems like other people using variety have had the same issue of \TypeError: gobject `variety+Util+VarietyMetadata' doesn't support property `path'``, reported here and here. Might still caused by using it with nix, idk, I'm no expert in how exactly nix handles python

Want a simple way? Variety. :)

This is why I found variety which does the exact same thing though it also has some config options and the option to get different images from online sources.

There's a similar native Linux program called Variety that is likely easier to set up and use.

Any reason you don't just use variety?

Theres also numerous Gnome extensions for Wallpapers, and I have been using this http://peterlevi.com/variety

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!
