wpgtk is an easy to use, color scheme generator.
This is a universal theming software for all themes defined in text files, compatible with all terminals, with default themes for GTK2, GTK+, openbox and Tint2, that uses wal as it’s core, in which you can choose to interact with in two possible ways, so you can enjoy the powerful wal while having an easy to use GUI AND a powerful CLI tool.
wpgtk uses pywal as its colorscheme generator, but builds upon it with a graphic user interface and other features such as the ability to edit the color-schemes generated and save them with their respective wallpapers, having light and dark themes for dynamic icons, hackable and fast GTK+ theme made specifically for wpgtk, custom keywords and values to replace in templates and auto color-scheme sorting to achieve more readable palettes.
wpgtk includes all the preset themes that pywal does, so that’s around 200+ themes to play around with, that you can also modify to get really readable and cool results.
