pywal-spicetify

A simple cli tool for applying wal generated colors to spicetify. I built this purely for personal use.

I haven't done any testing but it works on my machine (i use arch btw)...

Built in rust

Demo

pywal-spicetify is called inside my waypaper config.

post_command = wal -i $wallpaper && pywal-spicetify text && killall -SIGUSR2 waybar

Dependencies

• pywal-spicetify requires a fork of pywal called pywal-16-colors Here is the repo. Support for default pywal may be added later. (I created an issue for this but I probably won't ever get to it)
• Obviously you will need `spicetify' installed with at least one theme.

Installation

To install rom the AUR run:

yay -S pywal-spicetify

From Source

git clone https://github.com/jhideki/pywal-spicetify
cd pywal-spicetify
cargo build --release
cp target/release/bin/pywal-spicetify <wherever you want to save the progra>
export PATH=$PATH:<where you saved pywal-spicetify>

Usage

Usage: pywal-spicetify [OPTIONS] <theme>

Arguments:
  <theme>

Options:
  -r, --reset
  -h, --help     Print help
  -V, --version  Print version

E.g. to apply wal colors to the Dribblish theme run:,

pywal-spicetify Dribbblish

-r or --reset will delete colors-spicetify.ini and remove the configuration from .config/spicetify/Themes/<theme>/colors.ini

Example Usage

pywal-spicetify is meant to be called whenever you change wallpapers. Here is how it is set up with waypaper and the text theme

[Settings]
language = en
folder = ~/dotfiles/wallpapers
wallpaper = ~/dotfiles/wallpapers/wp5089612-scenery-anime-wallpapers.jpg
post_command = wal -i $wallpaper && pywal-spicetify text && killall -SIGUSR2 waybar

Configuration

Colors can be configured from .confiig/wal/templates/colors-spicetify.ini
colors-spicetify.ini will be auto-generated upon running pywal-spicetify or the first time.
