# Dynamic Theme Setup
|
|
|
|
This setup adds wallpaper-aware "Auto" theme support to your Quickshell + Niri environment.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Install the required tools:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Required for Material-You palette generation
|
|
# Or paru -S matugen-bin on arch
|
|
cargo install matugen
|
|
|
|
# Required for JSON processing (usually pre-installed)
|
|
sudo pacman -S jq # Arch Linux
|
|
# or: sudo apt install jq # Ubuntu/Debian
|
|
|
|
# Background setters (choose one)
|
|
sudo pacman -S swaybg # Simple and reliable
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. **Initial wallpaper setup:**
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Set your initial wallpaper
|
|
sudo cp ./set-wallpaper.sh /usr/local/bin
|
|
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/set-wallpaper.sh
|
|
set-wallpaper.sh /path/to/your/wallpaper.jpg
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. **Enable Niri color integration (optional):**
|
|
Niri doesn't have a good way to just set colors, you have to edit your main `~/.config/niri/config.kdl`
|
|
|
|
The script generates suggestions in `~/quickshell/generated_niri_colors.kdl` you can manually configure in Niri.
|
|
|
|
3. **Enable Auto theme:**
|
|
Open Control Center → Theme Picker → Click the gradient "Auto" button
|
|
|
|
4. **Configure swaybg systemd unit**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
