Re: Icon-Only Task Manager Colored Backgrounds
Hi, I also thought it was pretty cool but I tried that the other day with Task Manager by using the k-cluster sampling code from Big Screen to get the dominant icon color. It didn't work very well. Our current design the line doesn't give much area for colorization (the background is pretty faint then) and I always kept thinking my VLC player was demanding attention as the button turned orange. I sometimes wish I could colorize specific apps so I don't lose them in task bar (e.g. my email client or music player) but I am not sure the colorization stuff really works well in practice. I think Unity (or what's left of it) also moved away from permanently colored sidebar tiles. Cheers Kai Uwe
Re: Icon-Only Task Manager Colored Backgrounds
I'm not sure it looks good. seems to be something kinda coming from windows7 taskbar, but makes it graphically quite heavy and kinda "ruins" the design of the icons. -- Marco Martin On Sat, Jun 27, 2020 at 1:12 AM Noah Davis wrote: > This looks really cool.

Re: Icon-Only Task Manager Colored Backgrounds
This looks really cool. We'd have to change our task manager style yet again to correctly show the different states though. Still, I think there are some utilities for generating colors based on image colors, so someone could make a custom task manager and put it on store.kde.org.
