kde-material-you-colors VS applet-window-buttons

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.

Panels (stock plasma panels): Top (left to right): - Default app launcher - applet-window-buttons - applet-window-title - Default Global menu - Default Clock between two Panel spacers - Netspeed Widget (sysfs) - System tray - Virtual desktops pager

My approach: $ git clone https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons.git to my ~/Downloads and run install.sh script

Use this and this one for Windows buttons

- Window buttons

The guy who created latte dock maintains a trio of widgets (https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-appmenu, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-buttons, https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title) which are just PERFECT for that purpose. They don't require you to run latte, but it helps if you have more than one screen.

Window Buttons Applet

I did not know about Active Window Control. The scroll wheel to max/minimize feature is really handy. I am using another simple widget called Window Buttons though. It is not feature rich unlike Active window control but it looks good and serves my basic purpose.
