# viscolourchanger
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Intro
|
||||||
|
viscolourchanger is a program to dynamically change the colourscheme used by [cli-visualizer](https://github.com/dpayne/cli-visualizer) (herein referred to as 'vis'), as generated by [pywal](https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal).

##Setup and Configuration
|
||||||
|
###Initial Setup
|
||||||
|
To make vis recognise the generated colour scheme, it is necessary to add the line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
> colors.scheme=wal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
to the vis config file located at $HOME/.config/vis.config.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
(It is also helpful to add the line
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
>audio.stereo.enabled=false
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
in order to see a broader range of colours in the base vis config, but this is just personal taste and far more complex configurations are possible.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
###Further Suggestions
|
||||||
|
That is all there is to viscolourchanger itself, and in absence of something further, pywal and viscolourchanger run separately. However, it is useful to make a wrapper for pywal. A simple wrapper which I have written is located [here](https://git.lynnesbian.space/petra-fied/viscolourchanger/src/branch/master/wal), and will allow for on-the-fly colour changes as pywal is run.
