Chill Dots

A complete Hyprland rice that re-themes itself from whatever wallpaper is on screen. wallust pulls a 16-colour palette out of the image, seven templates push it into every app, and a systemd timer rotates the whole look every twenty minutes.

Colours from the wallpaperwallust runs k-means clustering over the current wallpaper and pulls a 16-colour dark palette out of it, checked for contrast so text stays readable.

Seven templates, one paletteThat palette is rendered into seven template files that inject the colours straight into Hyprland, Waybar, Kitty, Mako, Walker, Starship and the shell env. Nothing restarts.

It re-themes itselfA systemd timer swaps the wallpaper every twenty minutes with a smooth awww transition and re-runs the whole pipeline. Super + Shift + W picks one by hand instead.

One-command installinstall.sh backs up your existing configs to a timestamped folder, installs 180 official and 5 AUR packages, copies 106 wallpapers, and applies the theme.
