*** Bug 442300 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** In progress with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1325! Git commit 6eb2b529452dc4db003783046f3b3e74edb5e037 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Tanbir Jishan. Committed on 22/04/2022 at 14:52. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. kcms/colors: Add an option to apply accent color from wallpaper This adds an option to set the accent color from the current wallpaper. The way it works is that it exposes some DBus calls; if a wallpaper plugin supports wallpaper accent colors then it should say so by this DBus call when starting up and also should say which wallpaper is being currently used (for the purpose of extracting an accent color from it) or set an accent color itself. After that it should keep declaring the wallpaper or set accent color whenever wallpaper changes or whenever the plugin author thinks it is appropriate to say so. There is already an implementation of the color extracting algorithm which the plugin can either use, or else set whatever accent color it wants. The necessary DBus calls for the official image and wallpaper plugin are implemented, so they should work out of the box.
