### Usage
Make sure you have run wal on your system to generate a color palette. The plugin looks for the colors.json file at ~/.cache/wal/colors.json.
- After enabling the plugin, the theme should apply automatically.
- If you generate a new Pywal palette while Obsidian is running, `open the command palette (Cmd/Ctrl + P) and run the command "Reload Pywal Theme" to apply the new colors`.
- Default colors.json location can be changed in settings under the `community plugins` area.
