Pywal doesn't wok with kitty terminal

See original GitHub issue

Hi!

I set up everything. Here is what I put into /etc/profile and ~/.profile: (cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences &) cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences source ~/.cache/wal/colors-tty.sh

Then I added wal -R into ~/.xinitrc and pywal is not working. When I type command wal -i mywal.png everything works fine, but when I open another terminal it’s using default colors. Did I do something wrong?

Here is my spec: os: Arch Linux wm: i3-gaps terminal: kitty-terminal

I managed to ~ make it work on macOS. First, I had to install from git since the pip version was way out of date and had a couple of macos-specific troubles. After that running wal -R (assuming you already have generated theme already) /from kitty itself/ works. I’m still trying to figure out why doesn’t it work if executed from outside of kitty since my driver script that manages pywal is running in a daemon. Would be happy to get any pointers.

I’ve figured out why wal -R only worked form within kitty: because by default kitty remote control expects to be ran from within one of the kitty windows. Added #595 to communicate over the socket if calling from outside
