It's a project I built independently during the last year.</p> <p>I was unsatisfied with the main GUI alternatives on Linux, since they don't offer scriptability. The main thing I wanted to be able to do was setting the color of the LEDs of my Razer keyboard and mouse automatically, ideally according to the colors of my wallpaper. <a href="https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal"><code>pywal</code></a> generates color schemes from pictures, so <code>razer-cli</code> can use these colors to automatically set the LED colors.</p> <p>Over time, more features were added to <code>razer-cli</code>, such as controlling DPI, brightness, different LED effects, etc.</p> <p>It's part of my <em>color everything</em> pipeline, which tries to automatically apply color schemes to every possible device and software I have. This can be seen in action <a href="https://github.com/LoLei/dotfiles/blob/master/exec-wal.sh">here</a>.</p> <p>Feel free to check out <a href="https://github.com/LoLei/razer-cli"><code>razer-cli</code></a> and my <a href="https://github.com/LoLei/portfolio">other projects</a>!</p> razer linux python automation
