Templating

Included is a pywal configuration that changes the color scheme based on a randomly selected wallpaper. With the key binding SuperKey + Shift + w you can change the wallpaper. SuperKey + Ctrl + w opens rofi with a list of installed wallpapers for your individual selection. See also the .bashrc and the key bindings on Hyprland and Qtile for more alias definitions.

In addition, you can switch the Waybar Template with SUPER + CTRL + T or by pressing the "..." icon in Waybar. The templates are available in ~/dotfiles/waybar/themes. You can add your own personal themes into this folder. The script will read in the folder structure.
