better wal-telegram? `walogram`

Closed this issue · 1 comments

I rewrote wal-telegram and fixed many bugs and wrote proper documenation in the face of walogram(1) man page.

link: https://codeberg.org/thirtysixpw/walogram

Improvements:

  • better invalid palette handling
  • wal-compatible shell flags
  • removed feh and X related code
  • proper man page
  • theme generation even without zip
  • xdg base directory compliance
  • faster theme zipping (updating existing archive)
  • don't do what we don't need to (background optimization)
  • drastically simplify code base (100LoC -> 20LoC for theme creation)
  • proper error handling with error messages
  • portable Makefile
  • various small things, like better cache directory handling

Although all changes can be merged, this is not without problems:

  • I renamed project, because I wanted to rewrite the thole thing (survived only function that generates color shades)
  • walogram is incompatible with wal-telegram for the sake of wal-like flags
  • I have already packaged walogram in the AUR

You said that you are going to archive this repo when rust rewrite will be done. By now you can put link to walogram in README as less buggy version or something like that.

Nice thanks for the info !
