# Color Scheme Generator for AwesomeWM.

## ScreenShots

## Usage

Clone this repo under  ``` ~/.config/awesome/ ``` and enter into this folder.

Edit the file ``` main.py ``` and pass the wallpaper and theme path that you're gonna use.

Then run:

``` python main.py ```

### Optional: 

If you don't like the color scheme generated, you always can use the negative colors, changing the last parameter on the function ``` cc.extractColors() ``` from ``` False ``` to ``` True ```

As the default ``` theme.lua ``` generates the wallpaper through a function, I do recommend you checking the way in which it sets the wallpaper in the file ``` themeEditor.py ``` to prevent any error.

## Dependencies

``` 

python > 3.6

PIL (python library)

```

## How it works?

### Color Selection:

Here we use a

[K-means clustering](http://google.com)

for finding and selecting the colors from the image and return it sorted in an array.

### Editing the theme:

Actually, it's very simple. Manually we pass the theme's variables to edit, and store it in an array according to it's contrast. For example:

``` theme.bg_normal ```(the bar's color) and ``` theme.fg_normal ``` (the font's color) must contrast, we store ``` theme.bg_normal ``` on the first possition of the array and the ``` theme.bg_normal ``` on the last one. 

Then the whole array will be matched with the color's array and the theme file will be edited.
