Description Surya Teja K 2024-05-26 08:55:57 UTC

SUMMARY
When I use "Picture of the Day" as wallpaper and set "Accent color from wallpaper" option in "Colors", the accent color isn't updated when wallpaper is changed the next day. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use "Picture of the Day" as wallpaper. I use "Bing" as my provider but issue "should" be reproduced with any provider.
2. Set accent color option to "Accent color from wallpaper".
3. Observe the accent color changes to the current wallpaper.
4. Wait till the end of today so new "Picture of the Day" is fetched and wallpaper is updated.

OBSERVED RESULT
Accent color is not updated for new wallpaper.

EXPECTED RESULT
Accent color should be computed when wallpaper was updated


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: --
macOS: --
Linux/KDE Plasma: Yes 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.1.0 
Qt Version: 6.7.0

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I believe the fix would be to listen the wallpaper change event and trigger the "accent color change" to resolve this issue.

I tested this last night and can confirm it's working now on current git master, which was recently branched into Plasma 6.4. None of the relevant code has changed since then, so it would appear that the issue has been fixed as of Plasma 6.4, if not earlier!
