Colors from album cover

[luisbocanegra]

I have been thinking of adding this feature for some time, today I was experimenting and came up what you see below (still wip)

Is this something you would like to have?

If it were to be added:

• Should allow to enable/disable the feature, I think it could be distracting having the colors changing all the time for some users
• Since the cover allows custom radius the background would need custom one too
• When there is no image which color should it fallback to?
• What about the expanded representation? Should the widget use colors from the album when placed on the Desktop?
• What else?

Wow, what a really cool feature! 🤩

Should allow to enable/disable the feature, I think it could be distracting having the colors changing all the time for some users

Yeah, and I think this is something that would be disabled for default.

Since the cover allows custom radius the background would need custom one too

yes, but it could be done in a second step IMO.

When there is no image which color should it fallback to?

I would fallback to the current behaviour

What about the expanded representation? Should the widget use colors from the album when placed on the Desktop?

This in my opinion could be an other separate feature, I've been wanting to implement something similar to this for quite a while now. I was thinking to use the dominant color as background (with opacity < 1) and apply a fade effect to the album art, but I've never found an easy way to get the dominant color from the image, I didn't know about Kirigami.ImageColors!
