IMPORTANT

I haven't used pywal or obsidian in nearly a year so I'm archiving this repo, nothing should break anytime soon but if it does I probably wont fix it.

pywal-obsidianmd

A pywal script to create an obsidian.md theme.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/poach3r/pywal-obsidianmd

cd pywal-obsidianmd

chmod +x pywal-obsidianmd.sh

Usage:

Interactively

./pywal-obsidianmd.sh

Then simply enter your full vault directory, in my case it would be "/home/stefan/OneDrive/Obsidian Vault"

via command line argument

./pywal-obsidianmd.sh "/home/stefan/OneDrive/Obsidian Vault"

You should then see pywal-obsidianmd as an available theme.

Optional

Change wallpaper alias

I use an alias to use it together with sxiv to choose a background. Just choose the background, mark 1 (just 1!) picture with M and quit with Q.

this uses a python venv:

    alias wp='~/venv/bin/python3 -m pywal -i "$(sxiv -tfbo /usr/share/backgrounds)"; ~/OneDrive/src/pywal-obsidianmd/pywal-obsidianmd.sh "/home/stefan/OneDrive/Obsidian Vault"'

this doesn't use a python venv:

    alias wp='wal -i "$(sxiv -tfbo /usr/share/backgrounds)"; ~/OneDrive/src/pywal-obsidianmd/pywal-obsidianmd.sh "/home/stefan/OneDrive/Obsidian Vault"'

Change wallpaper script (example)

I use a script that I trigger with a click on an element in waybar. This also uses sxiv and restarts waybar afterwards.

    #!/bin/bash
    wal -i "$(sxiv -tfbo /usr/share/backgrounds)" && ~/OneDrive/src/pywal-obsidianmd/pywal-obsidianmd.sh "/home/stefan/OneDrive/Obsidian Vault" > /dev/null 2&>/dev/null
    killall waybar && /sbin/waybar
