improvement idea: allow to set color scheme seperately from wallpaper #212

Currently, setting a pywal color scheme changes your current wallpaper's default color scheme, and it is not possible to create only a color scheme without a wallpaper (not talking about the set wallpaper toggle). The wpgtk .base files are very flexible to change settings across the system with the keywords options, and some people may not want to use the other functionality. You could for example use wpgtk to quickly change your terminal colors and vscode theme to solarized, set the font of rofi, polybar and gtk, change cursor size etc. without changing the color scheme associated with the wallpaper. Maybe a switch in the colors tab to switch between wallpaper and colorscheme-only mode?

@deviantfero, do you think this is useful to be included in wpgtk?

I think it's just a matter of how you use wpg, if you pass the -n flag you won't set a wallpaper even in GUI mode, effectively turning off all wallpaper setting related features, you still need an image to get a theme though, so I see your point. I think it might be worth taking a look at, but it affects the core way wpg works to do it, I think I have an idea of how it could work.

I will be working on this feature :+1:, keep checking this repo, I might release it soon enough (though I'm a bit busy with my dayjob :))
