Screenshots of KiroTux, taken on real hardware: Hyprland DMS first, then Niri DMS, Hyprland Noctalia and Niri Noctalia.

DMS colors follow your wallpaper

DankMaterialShell (DMS) can take its colors from the wallpaper: the bar, the launcher, the control center and the dashboard all pick up a matching accent. Every screenshot below is the same desktop; only the wallpaper changed, with Variety (Alt + N for the next one).

Out of the box DMS uses a fixed color theme. To get this behavior, choose the dynamic theme in the DMS settings (Super + Shift + S).

App launcher, orange	Control center, pink
Dashboard, red	Desktop and bar, purple
Control center, blue	Dashboard, steel blue
Dashboard, night sky	App launcher, sea blue

Wallpapers come from Variety's default sources (Wallhaven) and belong to their artists.
