I have tested cronjob and it works. running dwall directly works but from cronjob doesn't. Why?

Same problem here. If you check this logs of it may say pywal is not installed on your system, exiting... even though pip3 list show pywall as already installed.

Try add environment variable PATH to your cron file. Run echo $PATH Update cron file with

0 * * * * env PATH=<your-path> DISPLAY=:0 DESKTOP_SESSION=/usr/share/xsessions/plasma DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS="unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus" /usr/bin/dwall -s room

Thanks a lot. Was just going through your issue. Followed it and now it works!
