Key Features

• True Dynamic Theming (Wallust): System colors are automatically generated on the fly. The custom scripts extract colors not only from static images but also grab frames from .mp4 / .webm video wallpapers to keep the theme perfectly synced.
• Glassmorphism UI: Waybar and Rofi feature a beautifully tuned, semi-transparent frosted glass effect that blends perfectly with bright and pastel wallpapers.
• Live Video Wallpapers: Powered by Waypaper + mpvpaper. Seamlessly cycle between .jpg, .png, .mp4, and .gif formats with a single keybind.
• Animated Borders: Active windows feature a smooth, infinitely rotating gradient border matching the current wallpaper palette.
• Unified Ecosystem: The dynamic colors automatically apply to:
  • Hyprland (Borders)
  • Waybar
  • Rofi (App Launcher)
  • Kitty (Terminal)
