wal-telegram

wal-telegram [OPTIONS]

wal-telegram generates Telegram desktop themes (`.tdesktop-theme`) coloured to match a pywal palette. It reads the cached colors from `~/.cache/wal/colors.json` and writes a theme file that the Telegram desktop client can load via *Settings → Chat Settings → Theme → Apply theme from file*.By default the wallpaper used in the chat background is the current image set with feh (read from `~/.fehbg`); pass `--background` to override it or `--tiled` to use a tiled palette colour instead.

--background PATH

Use specified background image

Use colored background from palette

Apply gaussian blur to background

Output location for generated theme

Restart Telegram after generating theme

Requires pywal to have been run at least once so that `colors.json` exists. Wallpaper auto-detection only works with feh; other wallpaper setters need an explicit `--background` argument. The generated theme has to be re-applied in Telegram's settings each time it is regenerated unless `--restart` is used.
