Pywal Template Engine

You can enable pywal like syntax in the config file with pywal = true, check out defining a template in the config file.

The syntax is simple, but more variables are added given that it's engine and spec doesn't support runtime evaluation functions.

Don't forget to visit the full pywal spec for more details, as this engine will try to keep it without changes, but here is a quick tutorial.

Syntax

The syntax logic is simply "Find and Replace" like:

somevariable = {color2}
anothervariable = {color8.rgb}

and to escape braquest simply add one more than desired:

// Example snippet.
* {{
    active-background: {color2};
    active-foreground: {foreground};
    normal-background: {background};
    normal-foreground: {foreground};
    urgent-background: {color1};
    urgent-foreground: {foreground};
    // ...
}}
