Wallpaper & Terminal Theme Changer

Overview

This script is a Wallpaper and Terminal Theme Changer written in Python.

PyWal

This script uses PyWal, a tool that generates a color palette from the dominant colors in an image. It then applies the colors system-wide and on-the-fly in all of your favorite programs. PyWal was created by Dylan Araps, and you can find it on GitHub. We use PyWal to set the downloaded image as the terminal theme.
