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

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.

pywal is used to get the colorscheme from my wallpaper for my browser and terminal. left: neovim, top right: qutebrowser, bottom right: cava

I am on Arch Linux and I am using pywal to generate a colour palette from my wallpaper, which I then use throughout my system. In particular, i have a bash script which grabs these colours and uses them for polybar. The problem is that sometimes these colours do not have enough contrast, and the bar is hard to read. Is there any tool that would allow me to check the readability of my colours, and modify them accordingly, directly from my script? If not, how should I be approaching this issue?

pywal and a pretty desktop background. Just don't tell unixporn that you took the easy route.

Have you tested https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal on its own?

There’s a program called pywal that has pretty decent instructions on getting the themes it generates to be used by various programs. pywal GitHub repo. Check out the wiki on that page.

I'd definitely look into pywal for that, it's like a colorscheme manager that fills in templates (some already implemented but it also supports user templates) from either a color scheme you define or by color picking an image

pywal also has its own themes. https://github.com/dylanaraps/pywal

pywal and wpgtk would be nice for desktop theming!
