pywall

Hi,
I already use pywall from you.
Why should I use paleta?
Pywal fits well extracting colours and applying all over...

Problem with executable name

Hello!

Program with the same name of executable already exists, that could make problems with installation and creating packages. Could you rename utility? Quite a bit of time has passed from the publication.

P.S. Nice utility, thank you!

Allow setting foreground and background independently of 0-15

This is a brilliant utility for seamlessly changing color theme across xterms. How pal sends command sequences works much better than what I had been trying: calling xdotool search --class xterm to create a stack of xterm windows and then calling xdotool again to send (after changing the dubious xterm*AllowSendEvents setting) each xterm xtermcontrol commands that change the colors... ugh. Not a good solution. I want to use a tool like pal that works with command sequences directly.

For my use, I am trying to use pal to switch all xterms between Solarized Dark and Solarized Light themes. As far as I can tell, these themes require slightly more complex sequences than your utility currently allows. The foreground and background colors cannot simply be assumed to be colors 0 and 15, and other settings like the cursor color must be set to specific values.

Per the official Solarized repo, the Solarized dark color scheme is specified as follows in a Xresources file:

#define S_base03        #002b36
#define S_base02        #073642
#define S_base01        #586e75
#define S_base00        #657b83
#define S_base0         #839496
#define S_base1         #93a1a1
#define S_base2         #eee8d5
#define S_base3         #fdf6e3
#define S_yellow        #b58900
#define S_orange        #cb4b16
#define S_red           #dc322f
#define S_magenta       #d33682
#define S_violet        #6c71c4
#define S_blue          #268bd2
#define S_cyan          #2aa198
#define S_green         #859900

*color13:               S_violet

*color14:               S_base1

!! white dark/light
*color7:                S_base2
*color15: 		S_base3

So, I assume my next step would be to fork pal, in which I alter the following lines of make_sequences():

    # 10: Foreground color,
    # 11: Background color,
    # 12: Cursor Foreground color.
    # Source: https://goo.gl/KcoQgP
    sequences+="\\e]10;${colors[15]}\\e\\\\"
    sequences+="\\e]11;${colors[0]}\\e\\\\"
    sequences+="\\e]12;${colors[15]}\\e\\\\"

to set the correct background, foreground, pointerColorForeground values. I would then add similar lines that set fadeColor, cursorColor, and pointerColorBackground to the Solarized spec as well.

Thanks for any help/suggestions. Just thinking out loud. I would like to make pal's magic available to Solarized users wishing for a sane way to switch all their xterms to dark themes at sundown and light themes at sunup!

Messed up colors in termite

When setting the colors through pal in termite, the color scheme becomes messed up. When attempting to set a theme such as materia, the output is completely different than what its supposed to, with the colors being in the wrong places.
