Theme color detection
Why is removed detection of background color from user theme in commit ed740bdeaae6e3d8368f3f3b5701e12703481e6b? In the last version panel is black if custom color is not specified.
Three Reasons:
- The theme detection code made the extension more complex and harder to maintain
- A lot of themes are too opinionated for this extension to work
- I've had issues with accessing theme information during unlocking, locking, or suspend led to repeated and unpredictable crashes.
If you would like to theme the shell you can also set a color that matches for now. Alternatively, it is now fairly easy for a theme to add panel transparency.
Long-term I plan to support wallpaper color detection.
#116 lays out my future plans.
