# wpgtk is just more convenient

Pywal is a simple KISS principled python application that extracts 
colors from an image and creates a color pallete to theme different 
programs

By default there are some templates that are stored in its .cache 
directory and there is an option to create new templates in its 
.config directory.

I found it to be simpler to create every template with wpgtk and 
store it in its templates folder in .config because there it also 
utilizes symlinks to its respective files and thus you can have every 
program's file to manage in one place.

Moreover wpgtk conveniently stores each created colorscheme in a 
schemes folder in .config and along with that every wallpaper used as 
a symlink to the actual wallpaper in a wallpapers folder.

It also has a gui interface but I never really found a use for it as 
one can easily perform every needed action using just the cli.

After creating a script to be run after every use of the program to 
theme application that need third party scripts like telegram and 
qutebrowser the process of switching colorschemes on the fly becomes 
easy as pie and fast as fuck 🤫

Just give it a shot! Maybe I'll upload my postWPG script in my gitea 
instance sometime soon and create an actual tutorial on how to use 
wpgtk
