Color All The Things, With Pywal
As with many folks who like to play with desktop cusomization, inevitably my desktop config tweaking always tends to be centered around matching the colors in the wallpaper. With the help of a tool called Pywal and a bit of Bash scripting, it turns out to be pretty easy... though it took a lot of tinkering to get all the pieces working just right.
Choosing the wallpaper
Even though Pywal itself is capable of choosing the wallpaper, the solution I finally landed on (which seems to often happen) is a Bash script that gets the wallpaper last set by Nitrogen. I also added the ability to randomly choose a wallpaper from a couple of different directories, with it choosing a different folder in the winter months so I get snowy scenes then rather than my usual mountain & forest landscapes (mostly from Unsplash but some photos taken by friends or myself). Then in my Awesome menu I added an option to randomly choose a new wallpaper by running the script behind the scenes.
Here is the wallpaper script (this code embedded in the HTML will change as I work on it):
#!/bin/bash
PAPES=/home/sean/Images/backgrounds/4k/
WINTERPAPES=/home/sean/Images/backgrounds/4kw/
if [[ "$1" == "--random" || "$2" == "--random" ]]; then
if [ `date +%m` = 12 -o `date +%m` = 01 -o `date +%m` = 02 ]; then
BGDIR="$WINTERPAPES"
else
BGDIR="$PAPES"
fi
rm -f "$HOME/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg"
nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --random --save "$BGDIR"
elif [[ "$1" == "--from-wal" || "$2" == "--from-wal" ]]; then
nitrogen --set-zoom-fill --save "$(cat "$HOME/.cache/wal/wal")"
else
nitrogen --restore
fi
BGIMAGE="$(cat "$HOME/.config/nitrogen/bg-saved.cfg" | grep file= | head -1 | cut -d'=' -f 2)"
wal -i "$BGIMAGE" -n
#wal --backend colorz -i "$BGIMAGE" -n
COLORS=(`cat "$HOME/.cache/wal/colors" | tr -d '#"'`)
# 0 - GTX 2080
# 1 - Logitech G303
# 2 - MSI Motherboard
# 3 - Corsair CPU cooler
(
DEVICES=$( openrgb -l | grep '^[0-9]:' | wc -l )
for (( i = 0 ; i <= $(($DEVICES - 1)) ; i++)); do
openrgb -d $i -m direct -c ${COLORS[$(($i + 1))]}
done
) &
if [[ "$1" == "--restart-awesome" || "$2" == "--restart-awesome" ]]; then
ps x -u $USER -U $USER | grep -v grep | grep awesome > /dev/null && { echo 'awesome.restart()' | awesome-client ; }
fi
Terminal Color Scheme
Pywal itself will set the terminal colors for all compatible terminals on your system when you first run it. And, simply adding source ~/.cache/wal/sequences to your .bashrc (or .zshrc) will cause all future terminal windows to use your chosen theme. So this part was fairly simple. In the wallpaper script I simply run Pywal with the option to not set the wallpaper because Nitrogen is already doing that.
Awesome Theme Colors
When Pywal is run, it creates easily-parsible files in various formats (and you can create your own using a basic template system). So I added a function to my utility library which parses out ~/.cache/wal/colors into an array containing all the color values, and played around for a while picking different colors for different UI elements until I landed on selections that work pretty well for both dark and light wallpapers.
My theme is based on the Powerarrow theme from the Awesome-Copycats developers. At least at the time that I started working on it, the theme had a color scheme hard-coded into it for the arrow-shaped widgets in the Wibar. So I simply replaced each hard-coded value with elements in the Pywal color array.
See the theme file for my current color selections:

RGB LED colors via OpenRGB
RGB hardware is neat, but man it really bothers me that the default setting is usually to cycle through a rainbow of colors. Especially if you have multiple pieces of RGB hardware cycling at different rates it can just about give you a seizure. So the last part of the script calls the CLI client for OpenRGB for each piece of hardware it can detect and assigns a Pywal color (forked in a subshell because it's very slow). Most RGB hardware doesn't match the colors that appear on the screen very well, but it's way more sane than the psychedelic color show.
Other Integrations
I'd love to have Pywal generate a GTK and Qt color scheme, but alas that's outside of my skill level and patience right now. I did play around with wpgtk a bit which does this using Pywal's template system, but it's a bit clunky and you have to use one particular included GTK theme for it to work. Plus I'd really like a solution that doesn't require a GUI (so that it can be integrated with my script). I ended up choosing a GTK theme called "Groot" that came pre-installed in Archcraft and works well with most of my generated color schemes.
