Hi there! I was wondering if you could submit more examples of colorscheme generation by your script, maybe using a "color" display script?

venam commented 8 years ago

Hello there @deviantfero , Yes, I need to continue updating this project, adding more screenshots and colorschemes.

Not that many people helped, that's why I sorta left it a bit behind (for the moment).

That's a good idea to also show a color-script in the example screenshots.

venam commented 8 years ago

I just remembered that I opened a thread on the nixers.net forums with many screenshots: Check it out: https://nixers.net/showthread.php?tid=1700

thanks for your reply! also I wanted you to checkout my project wich has an bjective much like your project, if you'd like to fork it to apply your color-generating script i would be so glad, or not. but check it out!

The GUI for your software is very nice. Our project is a neural network, it's not a color-generating script, it's more of an AI that knows what colors will fit. That's how it differs from other color generators.

neeasade commented 8 years ago

knows

results vary(tm)

urnn needs a larger dataset and some tightening methinks.

@venam can we consider like an albumify[1] or something?

Indeed, the dataset is very small but the results are quite good for such size.

Albumify the results?

If we could have an easier interface I think we'll get more help. A GUI or curses would be cool.

neeasade commented 8 years ago

Albumify the results?

yeah, in the readme - that is, make a link to one instead of having all the pictures in a row right there.

If we could have an easier interface I think we'll get more help.

true, the script is probably not very straightforward.

venam commented 8 years ago

@neeasade, Yes, we should make an album instead of having a stack of images in the README.md. Let's just leave the best one as a display of what it is able to do.

We should think of what the user interaction will be like to add a new image to the set and test.

I'd personally do something like that: At first the program asks questions such as:

What the terminal emulator is in use
Where the Xresources is (default ~/.Xresources)
What the command to refresh the terminal color is (default xrdb -load Xresources location)
What is the default image viewer (default xdg-open)
What is the command to set the wallpaper

etc.. The configs will be set in a text file.

Then it's a prompt (REPL) with 2 or 3 commands: use <img> #use the img as the image that the theme is based on retrain #will retrain the network test #will set the colors, use the img as background, and open the default terminal with a display color script keep #will add the current colors and image to the set

For the tightening we need to play with the neural network parameters.

Just ideas that could help. I think this project has potential.

I'm sorry to bother you with this, but i was planning to make a fork of my project wpgtk that utilizes urnn as a means to generate a colorscheme for the whole desktop environment, and given urnn's neural network nature, it would provide better results, but I'd like to know if it's ok with you, and what do I need to do in order for you to be ok with it.

thanks in advance!

venam commented 8 years ago

Yes, it would be great. You'll have to add some buttons to your GUI to "retrain" the network and do other specific tasks related to URNN.

deviantfero commented 8 years ago

will do, and will keep you posted! thanks!

neeasade commented 8 years ago

@venam Alright, will consider that comment/feedback later -- I agree this project has potential, suppose we should do the thing (un-dead the project).

@deviantfero swell, yo.

deviantfero commented 8 years ago

and just like that... gurnnit is born!, just writing this here to keep you posted, right now there's nothing of urnn in it, I will edit the README.md accordingly, i was thinking about using ImageMagick as a dependency to convert all image formats to png before going through urnn, and to create a button for feeding urnn's neural network with your instructions as a script

the name is not permanent, would appreciate your two cents on that too. thanks for everything, we'll be in touch! I will develop it slowly though, since i'm entering this year's first semester in a few days.

@deviantfero You might want to incorporate other things from https://github.com/neeasade/autotheme.sh when you are at it.
Remove the g in front of the name and I'm with it!

deviantfero commented 8 years ago

done! removed the g!
