Bug ID: 418721
Summary: Extend "Night Colors" to color schemes
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk

Target Milestone: 1.0
In first place, I'm not sure if this request belongs here; I dont know where it
belongs, to be sincere. Sorry if it doesn't. Move it where you see it fitter.
Now, the Night Color feature is a nice one, but I'd like to suggest to add the
posibility of not only changing the color temperature but also the color
scheme.
The use case may be easier to visualize for developers who live in countries
where the day in the summer may begin at 6 AM and end past 22 with a very wide
"dynamic range" -let me use this fotographic metaphor- from night to very
bright sun hours, and a lot of gradual luminosity variances along the day-
Anyway I hope that more or less anyone can imagine the advantages and
"solidarize" with people who are tired to switch color schemes manually 2 or 3
times a day almost every day. D-:
Brightness control isn't always the solution because it affects also contrast
thus readability. So, I'd be better that desktop could switch from a light
scheme to a dark one, or even better, let me chose as many color schemes
changes as I wanted -actually they wont be more than 3 o 4-, so I can have, for
example, a light, but not too much, scheme in the early morning; a very light,
almost with pure white backgrounds, in the midday; a "light dark" in the
afternoon; and a really dark one at night when I'm only using a timid led
desktop lamp to illuminate the room.
The ideal functioning I think that would be that Plasma would read my monitor's
photometer info and according to that data I could configure which scheme use
for each margin of luminosity values. But as far as I know Plasma cant
communicate with the light sensors of desktop screens, correct me if I'm wrong.
So while that moment comes, if ever, a daytime and geolocation based solution
like is being used for the Night Colors tool would be a working hack.
