Spotify Matugen for DMS

A tiny DankMaterialShell daemon plugin that makes Spotify album art control the desktop color palette.

Behavior

• While Spotify is playing, its album art drives Matugen.
• Wallpaper changes still update the wallpaper, but cannot change the palette.
• Pausing or stopping Spotify restores colors from the current wallpaper.
• Resuming Spotify restores the album-art palette.

Requirements

• DMS 1.5 or newer
• Matugen
• Spotify with MPRIS enabled
• The DMS theme set to Dynamic

Install

git clone https://github.com/Grant07/dms-spotify-matugen.git \
  ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/spotifyMatugen
dms ipc call plugin-scan scan
dms ipc call plugins enable spotifyMatugen

To update:

git -C ~/.config/DankMaterialShell/plugins/spotifyMatugen pull
dms ipc call plugins reload spotifyMatugen

The plugin uses DMS 1.5's internal theme debounce because DMS does not currently expose a public theme-source lock.
