Now with plasmoid - KDE Material You color schemes generator from wallpaper

Automatically generate Light/Dark Color Themes for KDE (and pywal if installed) from your current wallpaper

After 7-8 months without release, I decided to revive this project and added a Plasmoid to it, this is the first release of the widget so it may contain some bugs :slight_smile:. Requires python backend, check github link at the end for install instructions.
