+## Custom Modules
+
+### Appimage
+---
+`appimg.py`
+
+Opens a dmenu that runs Appimages. Appimages must be located in the `Applications` directory in your home directory.
+
+### Colors
+---
+`colors.py`
+
+Opens a dmenu prompt that loads a pywal `json` file. Files must be located in the `colors` directory in your `qtile` config folder.
+
+### Holiday
+----
+`holiday.py`
+
+Tells `wallpaper.py` what holiday it is. Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are supported.
+
+### Wallpaper
+---
+`wallpaper.py`
+
+Sets the wallpaper using pywal. Wallpapers can be set with nitrogen by adding ":nitro" behind the filename. Wallpapers must be located in `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/wallpapers/`. Halloween wallpapers must be located in `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/halloweenwallpapers/`. Christmas wallpapers must be located in `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/xmaswallpapers/`. The first prompt will be "All" and selecting it will show all wallpapers. Additional groups can be added by creating a folder in `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/wallpaperdirs/`. To add wallpapers to a group, add the wallpaper to the main wallpapers directory than touch a file or create a symbolic link under the group's folder with the same name. The wallpaper must be in the main wallpapers directory.
+
+Presets can be created by adding a pywal `json` file to `~/Pictures/presets/`. Presets must have the same name as the wallpaper sans the file extension. For example, a preset for `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/wallpapers/nature.jpg` would be `~/Pictures/Wallpapers/presets/nature.json`. The `json` files generated by pywal can be found in `~/.cache/wal/colors.json`. Presets can be overriden by adding ":auto" after the filename.
+
+To set a wallpaper from the shell, add "-i" and then the file path.
