wal-telegram: Generate with wal's palette and a specified background image.
$ wal-telegram --background=${path-to-image}
try on your machine

The given command "wal-telegram --background=${path-to-image}" is used to set a custom background image for the Telegram messaging application.

Here's how the command works:

  • "wal-telegram" is the executable command that is used to modify the Telegram application's theme settings. This command is usually associated with the "pywal" tool, which generates and applies color schemes based on images.

  • "--background=${path-to-image}" is a command-line option that specifies the path to the desired background image file. The "${path-to-image}" placeholder should be replaced with the actual file path of the image you want to set as the background.

When you execute this command, it will set the specified image file as the background for Telegram by applying a color scheme that matches the image. This can enhance the visual appearance and make the theme more coherent and appealing.
