Walpaperfy

Walpaperfy is a simple tool that synchronizes your desktop wallpaper and terminal colorscheme with the album art of the currently playing track on Spotify.

Prerequisites

• pywal: Used to set the background image and generate the colorscheme.
• Wal Theme VsCode extension (optional): uses the colorscheme on vscode.

Setup

1. Install the applicatin Just use cargo.

    cargo install walpaperfy
   

   Or clone the repo and build it.

   g4it clone https://github.com/toddync/Walpaperfy
   cd walpaperfy
   cargo build --release && cargo install --path .
   

2. Register a Spotify App: Register a new application on Spotify's developer portal to obtain your Client ID and Client Secret. Add http://localhost as one of the redirect URIs for your app in the Spotify dashboard.

3. Get the Refresh Token: To retrieve your refresh token:

   • Run the application with the --add-key tag, with your credentials from step 2.
   • Open the URL that appears in your terminal.
   • After being redirected, copy the code from the URL (the part after code=) and paste it back into the terminal. You'll then receive the refresh token to add to your env.rs file.

   walpaperfy --add-key
   

   The more api's you set, the better, but it runs smoothtly with only 3 for me. The code will switch between them to avoid the 13h wait time once you get rate-limited. To set more api's, just repeat the steps above.

4. Run the Application:

    walpaperfy
   

   Your wallpaper will now automatically update with the album art of the song you're currently listening to on Spotify!
