import colors from local file

[vKnmnn]

As a user of pywal, i have a .css file containing the values color0 to color15, background holding the path to a local image file.

Now I'd like to include these colors into Stylish.

Since i do not know a thing about CSS, how should i go about this?
color: var(--color0); gives a warning and stylish falls back to white

20:17 $ cat .cache/wal/colors.css 
/* CSS variables
   Generated by 'wal' */
:root {
    --wallpaper: url("/path/to/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg");

    /* Special */
    --background: #1b1e16;
    --foreground: #d8e6e8;
    --cursor: #d8e6e8;

    /* Colors */
    --color0: #1b1e16;
    --color1: #8BABB5;
    --color2: #C0BDAE;
    --color3: #99BBC4;
    --color4: #A2BEC5;
    --color5: #AFCFD6;
    --color6: #B1D1D6;
    --color7: #d8e6e8;
    --color8: #97a1a2;
    --color9: #8BABB5;
    --color10: #C0BDAE;
    --color11: #99BBC4;
    --color12: #A2BEC5;
    --color13: #AFCFD6;
    --color14: #B1D1D6;
    --color15: #d8e6e8;
}

Only keep the needed part:

/* Background */
--wallpaper: url("/path/to/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg");

/* Special */
--background: #1b1e16;
--foreground: #d8e6e8;
--cursor: #d8e6e8;

/* Colors */
--color0: #1b1e16;
--color1: #8BABB5;
--color2: #C0BDAE;
--color3: #99BBC4;
--color4: #A2BEC5;
--color5: #AFCFD6;
--color6: #B1D1D6;
--color7: #d8e6e8;
--color8: #97a1a2;
--color9: #8BABB5;
--color10: #C0BDAE;
--color11: #99BBC4;
--color12: #A2BEC5;
--color13: #AFCFD6;
--color14: #B1D1D6;
--color15: #d8e6e8;

and paste it into the file at the top. Also: try not to use any local files, as Stylish only supports a single .css file as a style. I'm not sure about @import with URLs, but the wiki said not to use it.

If i shouldn't use local files, then how do i get my pywal colors loaded into stylish?
The deal about pywal is, that the colors are dynamic, they are created on the fly, to match a given image, so it's not possible to hardcode them directly into the file.

Has there been an answer to this anywhere? I have ran into the same problem

[vKnmnn]

So, modern browsers block the use of file:// links as described here.
There is a method described in that link how to circumvent this. (for firefox 1.5!)
without having tried it, it seems, like we would have to make an exception for every site for which we would like to import local files. Or disabling that security feature altogether.

oh and by the way, folks, don't use stylish. it sends a copy of your whole internet traffic to their servers. use stylus instead.

is there any possibility with pywalfox?
