Add option to use theme colors about material-shell HOT 11 CLOSED

It's will be possible to choose the primary color of the interface but maybe not from an environment variable but we will provide this settings

from material-shell.

The theme feature should fix this

Yeah I had to disabled this feature until it's done right. It's was buggy.

What part of the code handles the theme color?

from material-shell.

currently the color is defined here

from material-shell.

How did you previously get the color from GNOME?

from material-shell.

Here But like I said was the wrong way to do it

from material-shell.

Can I use environment variables to change the color scheme? Like pywal's rofi specifications for example. Is it possible or will be some day?

from material-shell.

No, still not fixed. There are three theme options: Light, Dark, and Primary, which provide hard-coded themes that do not match the user's GTK theme. There should be a "Native" option or something similar that uses the user's GTK theme.

from material-shell.

Or perhaps simpler, just use the user's GTK theme (or shell theme, if that's easier) by default. There is no need to implement a new theming engine when GNOME already has one.

I am also having an issue with this. One alternative is that you can use a color picker like pop-shell does for the active window frame color.
