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

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.

top center dock contains Window title applet with 10px spacing and search widget also by KDE

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

Use this and this one for Windows buttons

- Window title

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.

Yeah, I know, the other issue is here: https://github.com/psifidotos/applet-window-title/issues/33 , I hope that gets addressed evetually:-).

If you want multiple panels in a Unity like layout, I found it easier to do that with latte dock than with the builtin panels. I also like using this Plasma applet to display window title in a plasma/latte panel.
