Singe conversion

Notes 🗒️ :

info
  • path/to/img.png does not have to be an absolute path. You can use a relative path with the ~ ex. ~/Pictures/img.png
  • gowall list shows the 25 built in themes along with any custom theme you created in ~/.config/gowall/config.yml

➤ Batch conversion

Processes more than 1 image at a time.

  gowall convert -b path/img.png,path/im2.png -t <theme-name>

⚠️ Do not leave any white spaces between the comma ,


➤ Convert a whole Directory

Use the # delimiter to convert every image file under that directory.

 gowall convert ~/Pictures/# -t catppuccin

 gowall invert ~/Pictures/test/#

Notes 🗒️ :

info

Only png jpeg jpg webp images will be converted any other directory or file will be ignored

New Algorithm v.0.2.0​

improvements

As you can see the new backend for color correction offers big improvements in :

  1. speed
  2. smoothness (getting rid of the sharp color changing)

Use the old backend​

Optionally, if some users want to use the old backend, they can by using specifying the option in ~/.config/gowall/config.yml. It should be at the top level where themes: is.

~/.config/gowall/config.yml
ColorCorrectionBackend : nn
