Pywal

<h1 align="center">Base46: Pywal Edition</h1> <p align="center"><i>Pywal and Matugen support for NvChad!</i></p>

[!NOTE] Support for Pywal requires these Python libraries to be installed:

• pywal
• watchdog

Installation

cd ~/.config/nvim
git clone https://github.com/NvChad/pywal

Add this at the end of your init.lua file:

os.execute("python ~/.config/nvim/pywal/chadwal.py &> /dev/null &")

local autocmd = vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd

autocmd("Signal", {
  pattern = "SIGUSR1",
  callback = function()
    require('nvchad.utils').reload()
  end
})

Now you need to generate your Pywal theme again using wal -i <image>. If not, chadwal will default to gruvchad colors.

Matugen support

Add this your ~/.config/matugen/config.toml file:

[templates.nvim]
input_path = '~/.config/nvim/pywal/matugen.lua'
output_path = '~/.cache/wal/base46-dark.lua'

[templates.nvimlight]
input_path = '~/.config/nvim/pywal/matugen.lua'
output_path = '~/.cache/wal/base46-light.lua'

[templates.pywal]
input_path = '~/.config/nvim/pywal/waltemplate'
output_path = '~/.cache/wal/colors'

[config.custom_colors.red]
color = "#FF0000"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.green]
color = "#00FF00"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.yellow]
color = "#FFFF00"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.blue]
color = "#0000FF"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.magenta]
color = "#FF00FF"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.cyan]
color = "#00FFFF"
blend = true

[config.custom_colors.white]
color = "#FFFFFF"
blend = true

Just like with Pywal, you need to generate your theme again using matugen image <image>. If not, chadwal will default to gruvchad colors.

Select chadwal theme and enjoy!
