kde-plasma-adaptive-wallpaper-accent-color VS fpm

As an alternative, there is also https://github.com/tantalising/kde-plasma-adaptive-wallpaper-accent-color

There is also a tool to automatically extract an accent color from the wallpaper and apply it: https://github.com/tantalising/kde-plasma-adaptive-wallpaper-accent-color One would just need to make sure to call it on activity switching.

It should update the color whenever the wallpaper changes. The message is probably because you still have some mixed up config. You can restart and then set any color scheme as default and then make sure you already have choosen a custom accent color in setting. After that start the app. The app is working fine in konsole for me. I have updated the readme. check this out. If you don't get accent for some wallpapers then it means either the wallpaper is changing so fast that it does not have enough time to change accent or it is generating a color close to previous accent that the new accent is almost indistinguishable. Sometimes the app fails to generate color when the image is not supported by qt. I am using qt and it sometimes for reason says the image is not valid. In that case I just skip that wallpaper instead of annoying user that the current wallpaper is broken.

If you ever revisit that decision, check out FPM. It can shave off a few of the rough edges related to packaging: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm

The easiest way is probably FPM: https://fpm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

There is definitely a lot more to building a proper package for wider distribution, but there are some great tools out there for folks wanting to get into it that make it more approachable. I've done my fair share with fpm when learning how the proverbial sausage is made.

I use RedHat based environments for work. I've had good success creating my own yum repo and building RPM packages with Effing package management. FPM can handle packages for most distros so if you want to publish a linux app it is an easy way to provide it in multiple formats.
