[Lua | Bug]: `lua_state.colors` is absent

[zeerayne]

Description

.local/share/hypr/lua/dynamic.lua require lua_state.colors to proceed, but is absent in $XDG_STATE_HOME/hyde/lua_state

.local/share/hypr/lua/dynamic.lua

local color = check_require("lua_state.colors") or {}

if next(color) then
	hl.config(
	...
        )
else
	local message = "[HyDE] Hyprland does not detect colors! Run: hyde-shell reload"
	hl.exec_cmd("hyprctl seterror 'rgba(c79bf0ff)' " .. message)
end

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install HyDE from development branch
2. Reboot

Expected Behavior

I expect lua_state/colors.lua to be create on HyDE theme/wallpaper change

Actual Behavior

As shown on screenshot there is no colors.lua created

do hyde-shell reload fixes it? If so Maybe we just need to ship a state file to avoid confusion.

[zeerayne]

nope, hyde-shell reload do not fix it

[zeerayne]

p.s. also I have checked the codebase a bit, and looks like ua_state/colors.lua isn't created or updated at all

[kRHYME7]

looks like I did not add a template for ~/.local/share/wallbash ?

[zeerayne]

yep, can confirm that there is no wallbash template:

[theseriff]

The same problem

[kRHYME7]

should be fix now

before

after

Thank you for testing it on fresh install @zeerayne @theseriff
