Someone explain please
Material you changes the android colour palette based on the colours in your background image.
Looks like pywal does the same for your terminal.
Material You: sets all the colours of your phone according to the colours of your wallpaper
Pywal: sets all the colours of your Linux desktop (terminal colours, GTK theme, config files derived from template files) according to the colours of your wallpaper
What I don't get is how often are people looking at their wallpapers? I see mine for a couple seconds before all the screen real estate gets taken by apps or monitoring etc.
It's to get a cohesive theme across all applications, so, even if you don't see the wallpaper, it overrides the default app themes that would all clash with each other otherwise
I use a tiling window manager, and it maximizes that behavior. I still have wallpapers, because I spend most of my time in terminals, and they're set to something like 90% opacity. I can still see the wallpapers, but it's subtle. Inactive, non-terminal windows get 80% opacity, so I see it more there.
