3. Select "Wallflow" or "Wallflow Bordered" as your color theme
4. Run wallflow to set a wallpaper - VS Code will update automatically

Commands

Settings

• wallflowTheme.autoUpdate - Enable/disable automatic theme updates (default: true)

Troubleshooting

If the extension doesn't update automatically:

1. Run the manual update command: Wallflow Theme: Update
2. Reload the VS Code window
3. Ensure wallflow has generated colors in ~/.cache/mksg/wallflow/
