gremious/discord-wal-theme-template

Pywal and Wallust template files for generating Vencord themes.

A pywal and wallust template for Vencord (or probably any other client capable of loading css, no guarantees).

Does not modify any discord styling outside of colors - it is just a recolored, vanilla discord.

Is uses the same formula for generating background color shades as Pywalfox, so the colors will match :)

(Just set "color0": "{{background}}", in the colors.json template for pywalfox if using wallust)

Dark theme only, sorry, I don't really use light themes, though it might work ok with pywal -l. If you edit the template because you use light themes with wal - feel free to PR!

Usage

pywal

Add the discord-pywal.css file to your $HOME\.config\wal\templates. After generating a pallette with wal there will be a discord-pywal.css file in your $HOME\.cache\wal directory. See https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal/wiki/User-Template-Files for more information

You can then copy the cached theme to $HOME\AppData\Roaming\Vencord\themes\pywal.css in the script you run to update things after running wal or w/e. Then you can enable it in the Vencord settings.

wallust

When using wallust you first need to check which version you have. You can do that by running this command:

wallust --version

Should your version be >= than 3.0.0 follow this guide

Copy discord-wallust-beta.css to %appdata%\wallust and add this line to your %appdata%\wallust\wallust.toml

[templates]
vencord = { template = 'discord-wallust-beta.css', target = 'C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Vencord/themes/wallust.css' }

Note that for toml, that has to be on one line. As an alternative, you can also write:

[templates.vencord]
template = 'discord-wallust.css'
target = 'C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Vencord/themes/wallust.css'

Otherwise please follow these instructions

Copy discord-wallust.css to %appdata%\wallust and add this to your %appdata%\wallust\wallust.toml

[templates]
vencord = { template = 'discord-wallust-beta.css', target = 'C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Vencord/themes/wallust.css' }

Note that for toml, that has to be on one line. As an alternative, you can also write:

[templates.vencord]
template = 'discord-wallust-beta.css'
target = 'C:/Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Vencord/themes/wallust.css'

Editing

I have left a bunch of notes and commented styles, and the color variable names are pretty self-explanatory: feel free to tinker around!

If you want e.g. comfycord/material/etc. support, you can edit the theme/template directly (e.g. in Vencord's "Open QuickCSS File") and import your favorite theme before the colors. Don't shy away from DIYing with the theme/template, it is not difficult.

discord-wal-theme-template's Issues

AttributeError: 'Color' object has no attribute 'red'

Hey! I'm trying to use this theme, but after copying discord-wal.css to $HOME/.config/wal/templates and running pywal, I get the following error:

completely transparent elements in discord canary

great template, i really love the use of the pywalfox formula to create the additional shades, however i'm experiencing this issue of some elements like tooltips and the popup menus being completely transparent

i'm using pywal16, discord canary, the pywal template and injecting the css with beautifuldiscord

can't get the wallust template to work on linux.

no matter how i write that entry in the wallust.toml file, it doesn't get read at all from it.
this is how i have it written.
vencord = { template = '/home/giuls/.config/wallust/discord-wallust-beta.css', target = '/home/giuls/.config/Vencord/themes/wallust.css' }
i'm using the v3 beta, if it helps.

Docs - "home" directory

You can use "~" to refer to /Users/myusername since I use shellexpand to resolve tilde expansion. (internally uses https://docs.rs/dirs/5.0.0/dirs/fn.home_dir.html)

Im not sure how safe it is to read env variables in paths, so Im opting for just a simple tilde expansion, and letting you know that you could use it for a simpme copy and paste config :)

Edit: this is a feature since v2 :p
