Custom Background Color

[margaretjoanmiller]

I'd like to be able to set a custom background color for all themes generated by wpgtk like how pywal allows you to do with the -b flag. I tried setting "background-color" under keywords in the config file to my desired background color to no avail.

[deviantfero]

use the user keywords feature to redefine color0, most wpgtk templates use color0 instead of the background

key value {color0} #customcolor

this should do the trick

Perhaps I'm using the keywords feature wrong because that's still not working. Here is my ~/.config/wpg/wpg.conf

[settings]
set_wallpaper = true
gtk = true
active = 0
light_theme = false
editor = kitty -e vim
execute_cmd = false
command = urxvt -e echo hi
backend = colorz
alpha = 100
smart_sort = true
auto_adjust = true
reload = true
keywords = default
vte = true

[keywords]
color0 = #2D2D2D

Changing the last line in the config to {color0} = #2D2D2D also doesn't work.

[deviantfero]

that is deprecated you should have a ~/.config/wpg/keywords.conf where you can add that

[default]
color0 = #202020

[margaretjoanmiller]

That still doesn't work, even if I use:

[default]
{color0} = #2D2D2D

instead of

[default]
color0 = #2D2D2D

both don't work.

[deviantfero]

what version of wpgtk are you using? wpg --version

[margaretjoanmiller]

6.5.5

[deviantfero]

well override both color0 and background doesn't affect even your terminal? remember to reapply the theme after that, and paste logs if possible

[default]
color0 = #2D2D2D
background = #2D2D2D

[margaretjoanmiller]

Still no. Here are the logs for running wpg -nm

And here is the colorscheme generated with that wallpaper

    }
}

could you please share the base file you wish to affect with this change, I think that might be the problem, what terminal are you using?

[margaretjoanmiller]

I’m not sure I understand the question. I’d like this to apply to all templates (if I understand correctly .base files are templates) and I’m only using built in ones, no custom ones. I’m using konsole.

[deviantfero]

https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/blob/master/pywal/templates/colors-konsole.colorscheme

this is what you're trying to override, so instead of overriding color0, override color0.rgb with a comma separated rgb value 42,42,42

so:

[default]
color0 = #2D2D2D
background = #2D2D2D
color0.rgb = 45,45,45
background.rgb = 45,45,45

[margaretjoanmiller]

I thought the .json files in the schemes folder were supposed to apply to every .base file? Those .json files aren’t updating. I will try to add those two other lines to see if I can at least get the konsole scheme to change but it seems like since the .json files in ~/.config/wpg/schemes aren’t updating its a broader issue.
