plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic VS kde-plasma-adaptive-wallpaper-accent-color

There is a plugin for this too: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic/tree/main

As far as I understand you are talking about this plugin. I don't know c++ and half of the code was like a black magic, but if I get it correctly, it encodes your images with libavif, and adds custom metadata ([solar/time of day] -> json -> base64).

You are looking for dynamic wallpapers

Hi all, I am relatively new to debian, so please go easy on me, recently I installed this program https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic (built it from source)

Something like that yeah, except it keeps changing throughout the day. I use this for it, but it still was a bit of set up work.

There's some projects like this one that provide something like what you're asking, there's isn't a built-in solution yet

Here is a dynamic wallpaper for plasma5: https://github.com/zzag/plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic

For dynamic wallpapers there's the plasma5-wallpapers-dynamic plugin and it works quite well, except it seems to add a little to the login times.

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.
