+# Pywal Colors Integration for Hyprland & Caelestia
+
+This setup automatically applies pywal-generated colors to both Hyprland borders and Caelestia shell.
+
+## Files Created
+
+1. **`~/.config/wal/templates/hyprland-colors.conf`** - Template for Hyprland border colors
+2. **`~/.config/wal/templates/caelestia-scheme.json`** - Template for Caelestia color scheme
+3. **`~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh`** - Script to apply colors to both systems
+
+## How It Works
+
+- When you run `wal -i /path/to/wallpaper`, pywal automatically processes the templates
+- The generated files are placed in `~/.cache/wal/`
+- Hyprland sources `~/.cache/wal/hyprland-colors.conf` for border colors
+- Caelestia reads from `~/.local/state/caelestia/scheme.json` for its color scheme
+
+## Usage
+
+### First Time Setup
+Already done! Your Hyprland config now sources pywal colors automatically.
+
+### Generate Colors from a Wallpaper
+```bash
+# Generate colors from a wallpaper
+wal -i /path/to/your/wallpaper.png
+
+# Apply colors to Hyprland and Caelestia
+~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+### Regenerate from Current Wallpaper
+```bash
+# Regenerate colors from the current cached wallpaper
+wal -R
+
+# Apply colors
+~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+### Quick Apply
+```bash
+# One-liner to generate and apply colors
+wal -i /path/to/wallpaper.png && ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+## What Gets Colored
+
+### Hyprland
+- Active window border (gradient using colors 4 and 6)
+- Inactive window border (using color 8)
+
+### Caelestia Shell
+- All Material Design 3 colors
+- Terminal colors (term0-term15)
+- Background, surface, and accent colors
+- Complete color scheme based on wallpaper
+
+## Customization
+
+### Modify Border Colors
+Edit `~/.config/wal/templates/hyprland-colors.conf` to use different pywal colors:
+- Available variables: `{color0}` through `{color15}`, `{background}`, `{foreground}`, `{cursor}`
+
+### Modify Caelestia Colors
+Edit `~/.config/wal/templates/caelestia-scheme.json` to adjust color mappings.
+
+After editing templates, run `wal -R` to regenerate colors.
+
+## Automation
+
+To automatically apply pywal colors on wallpaper change, you can add this to your autostart:
+```bash
+# In your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf
+exec-once = ~/.config/hypr/apply-pywal-colors.sh
+```
+
+Or create a wallpaper script that calls pywal automatically.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Colors not updating in Hyprland
+```bash
+# Reload Hyprland config
+hyprctl reload
+```
+
+### Colors not updating in Caelestia
+```bash
+# Restart Caelestia shell
+pkill caelestia && sleep 0.5 && caelestia shell -d &
+```
+
+### Check generated files
+```bash
+# View generated Hyprland colors
+cat ~/.cache/wal/hyprland-colors.conf
+
+# View generated Caelestia scheme
+cat ~/.cache/wal/caelestia-scheme.json
+```
