newl

newl is a Pywal theme manager which encourages the user to store and manually tweak their themes rather than simply passing an argument to the `-i` flag and calling it a day.

Features

• pick your theme from the command line, via dmenu, or graphically with [n]sxiv
• edit, update, or delete active theme with a single command
• set a random theme

Installation

Installation of shell scripts is trivial: simply place it in a directory in your $PATH.

Required dependencies

• dmenu
• Pywal16

Optional dependencies

Use of these programs is hardcoded into the source, but it’s trivial to remove them and replace them with whatever you find more suitable.

• emacs
• pywalfox
• dwm with dwmc and xrdb patches

Usage

First, you’ll need a theme. Make one the normal way (wal -i <image>). Then, come up with a name for the theme, say, <theme>, and run newl n <theme>. Your theme should be created. Run newl l to verify. You can apply this theme at any time with newl a <theme>. For more information, try newl -h… or just read the source code.
