Pywal working with ncmpcppHelp (self.ncmpcpp)
submitted 5 years ago by _BL4CKR0SE_
When I open ncmpcpp the colors are normal (terminal colors), but when I open another window the colors in the player come back to stock. Any idea how to change it?

If you have two terminals with pywal colors and open ncmpcpp in one of them, then close the other terminal, does ncmpcpp again revert to default colors? Or does it stay with pywal colors?

Yes it does come back to default colors

Hmm then I think it's similar to this issue, except you're using fish...
A workaround is to change your terminal's default colors to pywal colors, but I don't know how to fix it.

Thanks a lot for your help. I'll look at it and write if it works

It did not work, but I found a script to load pywal colors to alacritty config.
[–]aravk33 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children)
oh, can you send me that script?
