Stily.sh is a Bash script that aims to automate the tedious process of finding new wallpapers, downloading and switching them via the i3 config. Styly.sh can search for specific wallpapers from unsplash or download a random image from the specified subreddits. If you have pywal it also can set automatically your terminal colors.

Requirements

This script is made to work with feh so having it installed is a requirement. Currently it does not support Desktop Environments. If you want to use the -p flag you will have to have pywal installed.

Install

git clone https://github.com/thevinter/styli.sh
cd styli.sh
./styli.sh
