“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.”
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 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 favourite programs.” For the installation look at Github. In my case I had to run the following command:
Since the Dark Theme in Firefox 68.0.2 still has a flashing white page when opening a new tab, it’s no useable dark theme in my opinion. That’s why I prefer ShadowFox (Github) instead of the native dark theme. Easy to install and many ways to do further customizing.
Also I like bookmarks in the toolbar centralized. Just append the following lines to the userChrome.css. The file is placed in your Firefox Profile: ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile_name/chrome/userChrome.css
#PersonalToolbar {
display: flex !important;
justify-content: center !important;
}
