🎨 Theming System
Celestial Shade currently ships with 8 Universal Palettes: Catppuccin, Rose Pine, Tokyo Night, Nord, Dracula, Gruvbox, Synthwave, and Everforest.
Switching Themes
You can switch themes instantly without restarting your session.
- Press
Super + T. - Select a theme from the Rofi menu.
- The Engine will:
- Regenerate all config artifacts.
- Reload Waybar, Mako, and Hyprland.
- Switch to the correct wallpaper folder.
The Wallpaper Controller
The wallpaper logic is Stateful. It resides in theme/wallpaper.lua.
- Structure: Wallpapers are stored in
theme/wallpapers/<theme_name>/. - Sequential Loop: The system indexes files numerically (e.g.,
1.png,2.png). - Memory: If you are on Image #3 in Synthwave and switch to Nord, then switch back to Synthwave later, it remembers you were on Image #3.
To cycle wallpapers manually, press Super + W.
Creating a New Palette
To add your own theme, simply add a Lua file to theme/palettes/.
