[FEATURE] Conserve pywal colorways between updates #61

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Could someone help me figure out how to manually set the colors auto-picked for kitty, the waybar and windows from pywal? Before, on version 2.9.8.3, the colors automatically selected were more to my liking based on my wallpaper, but from 2.9.8.4+ they're too dark and I would like to revert to the same version of picking colors the previous version had. Unfortunately I'm not quite sure what files to edit; it reverts if i copy my archived dotfiles to my current ~/dotfiles/ folder (via sudo cp -R .ml4w-hyprland/archive/20250426225636/dotfiles/.config /dotfiles), but then I'm pretty sure I'm overwriting some updates.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to have a way to set the colorway picked by pywal be conserved between versions, and some tips or guides on how to manually set waybar/window/terminal color themes, as these can't all be set from the settings app as far as I can tell

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can roll back my dotfiles manually, but I'm worried about eventually breaking something.
