kde-material-you-colors VS FancyTasks

Not so straightforward setup but here you go: - Plasma theme: Modified lightly-plasma - Application theme: this fork of Lightly - Window decoration: Klassy - Window rounded corners: (LightlyShaders KWin effect)[https://github.com/a-parhom/LightlyShaders/] - Wallpaper - Plasma and everything else colors: kde-material-you-colors

Saw a different example like that some time ago but it was for toggling hiding title bars on maximized windows, so I copied the same structure. If you open the ~/.config/kwinrc you will see the config being edited when you enable/disable the effect in the gui, what way you know which key to change. As for the reload thing I discovered it while working on https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors/ :)

I tried to extract the image/color from these wallpapers when I developed the Automatic Material You color schemes generator as you can se here https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors/blob/main/src/utils/wallpaper_utils.py but I agree there should be a standardized way of get the current one and if is dynamic having a way to fetch some kind of a snapshot of what is displayed somehow.

You can try https://github.com/luisbocanegra/kde-material-you-colors, is an alternative to Plasma's Accent color from wallpaper which supports Konsole, also Kate (KSyntaxHighlighting) but only partially

Today I released the v0.4.0BETA version that adds piwal support the using material you generated colors. Check the github for more details on how to install/use.

This is a Python program that uses this C# implementation of Google's Material Color Utilities to extract a color from an image and then generate a Material Design 3 color scheme. Which is used to generate both Light and Dark Color Themes for KDE. Details and Arch PKGBUILD in the GitHub repo.

Bottom: - FancyTasks - Media player +

thank you for reply! Unfortunately, that plasmoid does not work on kubuntu 22.04 (https://github.com/alexankitty/FancyTasks/issues/18)

You might be interested in Fancy Tasks.

I use FancyTasks

Fancy Tasks has options to disable indicators and stuff. Give that a try.

This is pretty nice! IMO, this is a huge usability upgrade, as I can clearly tell at first-glance that a window is minimized or don't have focus. On the default task manager, a window's state is hard to tell apart. The indicators are a great add, something to fill the gap that Latte's Tasks left. What I would suggest, is probably link the animation speed with Plasma's Global speed (unless OG Task Manager doesn't do that...). Also, maybe brighten the indicator a bit more against the Task Manager's buttons, as grouped window indicators are difficult to see (even when the buttons and indicators use the 'dominant color feature). Maybe this effect would help: https://github.com/alexankitty/FancyTasks/issues/9 , but I think there was a discussion in the VDG about implementing this in Plasma's task manager.
