• Are there any tools to analyse/modify colours directly from a bash script?

  I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, I have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them... Source: 10 months ago

• I made a Python library to Qtile connect with Xresources!

  However, I also feel that it is important to state that the .Xresources file located in your home directory isn't the only way to add a value to the xrdb (Xresources database). Plenty of other applications such as pywal can be used to contribute to xrdb. I use pywal as a way of choosing my color scheme from a big library of different themes, which makes it easy to change my systems color scheme. Source: over 1 year ago

  There are a bunch of tools that generate color schemes for other tools based on a template of their configs.
