Cava ignores the config file #559

Closed KittyCinnamon closed 1 month ago

KittyCinnamon commented 2 months ago

i've installed cava, everything went smoothly, it works just right, so i decided to customize it and read some guides online, the thing is, when i opened the config file was empty so i copy-pasted a code i found on git, for the basic config of cava, i then tried to change the colors accordin to the Rosè Pine palette, but it doesn't work, it keeps beign white on black. i don't know what i am doing wrong i i can't find the solution online.

I don't think the default config file should ever be empty, make sure you are using the right path ('/home/[username]/.config/cava/config)

You can also try to specify your custom configuration manually using cava -p /path/to/your/config.

All of this, and even more is documented in the README.md file, maybe something there helps you fixing your problem.

remove the semicolon before the lines you need to change maybe?
