KDE Material You Colors is a wallpaper-driven theming tool for KDE Plasma that generates Material You inspired light and dark colour schemes from the current wallpaper.
It integrates with Plasma through a widget and backend, and can also extend the generated palette to applications such as Konsole and other software themed through pywal.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports multiple wallpaper sources including image, slideshow, animated, and other Plasma wallpaper plugins.
- Updates the generated theme automatically when the wallpaper changes.
- Can change icon themes to better match the generated desktop appearance.
- Can start automatically on login for hands-free wallpaper-based theming.
- Includes support for KSyntaxHighlighting based applications such as Kate, KWrite, and KDevelop.
- Offers alternative Material You colour selections when a wallpaper provides more than one prominent colour.
- Lets users generate schemes from a favourite colour instead of only the current wallpaper.
- Provides configurable variants such as Vibrant, Monochrome, and Neutral, along with colourfulness and brightness controls.
- Supports Plasma add-ons including tinting and opacity controls for Klassy, SierraBreeze, SierraBreezeEnhanced, and Lightly.
- Allows execution of custom scripts on start or when wallpaper, theme mode, or settings change, with configuration file support.
