How do I use it out-of-the-box?

After installing kolorette, go to homescreen, add widgets and choose kolorette widgets. There are two widgets provided, clock and search. Once you add, a configuration window opens where you can choose the type of color you want. When you are done, the widget is added to the homescreen. Once added, this widgets adapts to wallpaper beneath it.

Okay, that's cool, but how do I use to create my own widgets that blend in?

Here's where Kolorette's plugin feature comes into play. When it extracts colors it broadcasts the colors to extremely popular apps Zooper, Kustom live wallpaper and Tasker . So you can design your widgets in Zooper or Kustom and color them using the variables Kolorette provides.

Okay what are the variables and how do I use it?

There are several variables for each category. Basically the variable looks like #(W,A,M,I) _ (Swatch name) _ (Body,text). The first WAMI represents wallpaper, albumart, muzei, and image that you choose. The swatch name is explained below. Body or text is an interesting thing, the body color is the color that was extracted, and text color is the color that you can use to display a text over the body color. Kolorette takes care of black or white so you dont have to worry about it!

For example, text color for a yellow color will be blackish so it is visible.

Explain the swatches?

Prominent - true prominent color of the image.

Vibrant - A brighter color picked from the image.

Vibrant Dark - A darker variant of the above color.

Vibrant Light - A lighter variant.

Muted - A dull color to be precise. Usually found on darker images.

Muted Light and Dark - Darker and lighter variants.

Can I do crazy automation stuff using Tasker?

Kolorette plays along with Tasker as well. Tasker is an extremely popular automation app for android. Kolorette exposes itself as two plugins for tasker.

1. Event Plugin:

Kolorette lets tasker know that it has performed an extraction. In addition, it shares the color it extracted with tasker. Then it is upto you to decide what to do with the color!

2. Action Plugin

Action plugin works the opposite way. It is the one in which you ask kolorette to do an extraction for you at will.

Example:

Randomly set a wallpaper and then do a wallpaper extraction.

Download an image from net and do an extraction on that image.

Where can I find samples?

Kolorette provides you with samples for both zooper and kustom. You can see Kolorette listed as a theme pack in both packs. If you open them, you can find sample widgets.
