Nice. This feature is similar to Android wallpaper color theming.
And I thought Xorg already had this feature in Xresources, but apps do not respect it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice! I recently switched to Android and the Material You adaptive coloring through the system is so nice.
Anything that makes customizing a Linux desktop a little easier is good in my book.
So now we are going to get an 'accent-color' pref in flatpaks or flatpaks finally will follow color-schemes?
A setting was added that all applications can read and soon desktops which have color schemes will set it.
Oh, thanks! Will gnome apps follow this as well?
Eventually. I don’t think libadwaita supports accents yet.
For what I just read in the github discussion and in the linked gnome discussion is not endorsed by Gnome, as you can see here
Huh that sounds stupid, I wonder how arbitrary colors would make the feature substantially harder to implement on their side. I never developed for either KDE or GNOME, but the workarounds given sounded super reasonable to ne
Computer, go to red accent
That's good to hear!
