# 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. **`~/pywal.sh`** - Easy-to-use 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 (from anywhere!)
~/pywal.sh
```
### Regenerate from Current Wallpaper
```bash
# Regenerate colors from the current cached wallpaper
wal -R
# Apply colors
~/pywal.sh
```
### Quick Apply
```bash
# One-liner to generate and apply colors
wal -i /path/to/wallpaper.png && ~/pywal.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 = ~/pywal.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
```
