[macOS] Boop
“Boop is a simple editor that allows you to execute scripts on the buffer. The idea is that you don’t have to paste potentially secret information into shady websites to do some simple transforms, like format json and decoding query strings.”
There is also a port for Linux and Windows: https://github.com/zoeyfyi/Boop-GTK
sudo install boop-gtk.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/boop-gtk
Run from terminal with boop-gtk
[Mint] Install PyWal on Linux Mint 20.1 Cinnamon
“Pywal is a tool that generates a color palette from the dominant colors in an image. It then applies the colors system-wide and on-the-fly in all of your favorite programs.”
https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/Installation
pip3 install pywal
I’m using Variety to change my wallpaper every day automatically. To always get the right colors in my terminal I added some lines in my .zshrc that will always grab the current wallpaper and pass it to PyWal. I’m sure a bash pro would do this in just one line… 🙂
#---PyWal---#
# load previous theme
(cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences &)
# get picture path
picturepath=$(gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri)
# remove prefix & suffix
prefix="'file://"
suffix="'"
picturepath=${picturepath#"$prefix"}
picturepath=${picturepath%"$suffix"}
# set colors
wal -n -q -i "$picturepath"
#---PyWal End---#
There are many plugins/tools you can combine with PyWal:
