Notes

For the wallpaper script (/bin/swal) to work correctly with Dunst (notification daemon), you must create a symlink.

after applying a wallpaper (so cache gets created), run:

sudo ln -s ~/.cache/wal/dunstrc ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc

If you have any issues, feel free to open an issue or contact me.

Dunst (notifications)

   you only need to do this once. Once the wal cahce is created, every wallpaper applied will update dunst's colors.

Tested distros

Only officially tested on Arch and Gentoo (files copied manually, no install script).

I installed Hyprland straight from a fresh install (from tty).
