Mailspring theme that adapts to your wallpaper using pywal

• Install pywal using one of the provided methods.

• Clone this repo git clone https://github.com/SoulEater45/mailspring-pywal-theming.git
• Put the templates/colors.less file into your pywal templates folder ~/.config/wal/templates/
• Execute the Pywal command using your wallpaper wal -i $WALLPAPER
• Link the generated pywal file to this folder ln -s ~/.cache/wal/colors.less ./colors.less
• In Mailspring go to Edit -> Install Theme -> choose this folder
• You should have now a matching theme with your wallpaper

You can use the provided script lazy.sh which does the steps 2-4 for you. Just set the wallpaper path!

The lazy.sh script:

#!/usr/bin/bash
export WALLPAPER="~/Pictures/wallpaper.jpg"
wal -i $WALLPAPER
ln -s ~/.cache/wal/colors.less ./colors.less

Applying pywal does not automatically change the theme! You need to change it to another (light, dark, etc.) and install it again to change the theme.

If someone can automate the theme change directly, make a pull request. I am also happy to see different variants of applying the pywal theme to mailspring.
