MacOS Dock and wallpaper dissapeared after using pywal

[noponn8000]

My wallpaper has become a black screen now and the dock is not present. How do I bring it back? I have already tried to uninstall pywal but it did not work.

You can replace the file ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/desktoppicture.db with a backup if you have one. Doing that restored my wallpaper on my machine (macOS 11.1).

How can we fix this issue?
BTW I heard that you can just remove desktoppicture.db and restart and macOS will automatically create a new one

It has been fixed in the master branch of the app (see #518), but the fix has not been included in a release yet.

You can uninstall the app then reinstall it from the repo using pip install git+https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal.git.
