Run the following commands in your terminal:

  git clone --recursive https://github.com/aKqir24/walset.git
  cd ~/walset

then use these option to configure it:

bash walsetup.sh [OPTION]
  --gui: To launch a configuration GUI and apply the configurations.
  --setup: Show dialogs that sets up the configurations in order.
  --reset: To remove all set features, and set them all to default.
  --verbose: To show log messages when each step of the script is executed.
  --help: to show how to use this script.
  --load: loads/applies the configurations

The config file is located in $HOME/.config/walset.toml. Here is a sample config, I recommend to use it cause it is much easier to setup:

[wallpaper]
cycle = "iterative"
type = "image"
path = "/home/akqir24/Pictures/Wallpapers"
mode = "fill"
animated = true

[theming]
gtk = true
icons = true
mode = "dark"
accent = "color2"
[theming.programs]
i3status_rust="/home/akqir24/.files/.config/i3/status/config.toml" 
alacritty="/home/akqir24/.config/alacritty.toml"
rofi="/home/akqir24/.config/rofi/config.rasi"
dunst="/home/akqir24/.config/dunst/dunstrc"

[pywal16]
backend = "wal"
light = "true"
colorscheme = "darken"
