Hey there,
I think its not the first time you read about this.
I recently installed a Linux on my gaming pc and I want to fade out of Windows11 and into Linux only. So far so good.
One of my biggest concerns where the colours of my monitors. Since Adrenaline is not available on Linux, I hoped for another solution to get the colours bright and bangy. But it seems impossible with wayland.
And noo, its not a setting that my monitor can provide. It never was and it never will (I write it down since in every thread about this topic, someone was mentioning it sounds like something the monitor setting should handle).
- For X11 there was vibrantLinux.
- A maybe instable solution could be vibrant-cli.
- For games there is Gamescope thanks to Valve. But this only works for Games started from within Steam.
So this means, my Desktop/Browser still is not as bangy as I want it to be.
My search lead me to KWin scripting could be the solution. This is where I need some advice or somebody to confirm!
If I want to increase the overall colour saturation for my monitors, the correct way to go is to create a KWin script that does it, pack it as a package and use it.
I found the KWin Scripting tutorial over at develop.kde.org and I feel like solving this problem could be interesting.
Since I have no experience with JS, ECMA-Scripting or QMA, all this will be new and I want to know beforehand if I walk the right path. If not, a lot of time will be consumed just to realise I was wrong.
Thanks for reading :)
PS: I like KDE very much
PPS: Just if you never heard of Adrenaline: I have Radeon gpu


Ok, I have watched a short video to create a colour profile with RawTherapee but it was a kind of preset for internal uses. I have no clue if this can be exported. But yes, It could be difficult to achive what I am looking for and create this profile…
I have a Radeon so nVibrant is no choice.
Thank you very much for the reference even if I do not have seen shader code ever before.
