[Feature Request]: Trigger colorchange by terminal command / bash script

[k1llerk3ks]

I have:

• Searched if this feature hasn't been requested yet.
• Verified that I am using the latest version (see Widget settings > About page or top right corner for version 1.1.0 and later), should be the same as https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer/releases/latest

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would love to change the color of the bar, depending on the activity i am on. basically i would love to trigger this by a bash command.

Describe the solution you'd like
some command i can run or file i can edit to change the custom color, without having to open the widget everytime
Describe alternatives you've considered
trying to create an extra bar for every activity, but that does not seem to work either

Additional context
thx for this amazing piece of software :)

So, i tinkered around a bit. I have a solution that kind of works, but is just a workaround that works mostly.

I created a preset and chose to load this preset on any of those change options.
Before switching the activity, i replace the color string in the presetfile. then i switch -
If i have a window maximized on that screen, the color changes, if not, then it doesn't change. is there some possibility to resync/update the color? I suppose, some bus command is sent out from the plugin.

Supporting preset auto-loading based on the current activity should be possible, an example of a widget that uses them is Activity Pager or Task Manager https://github.com/KDE/plasma-desktop/blob/master/applets/taskmanager/package/contents/ui/ContextMenu.qml.

I already use org.kde.taskmanager to detect maximized/active window so it should be a matter of listing and linking presets to them in the presets auto-loading tab, then implement the detection and switch similar to existing ones.

For future reference here's an example of what presetAutoloading (https://github.com/luisbocanegra/plasma-panel-colorizer/blob/0b3fa70a665a69c073e3e20cdc05000e14251507/package/contents/config/main.xml#L40C15-L40C32) currently stores:

{
    "enabled": true,
    "maximized": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "touchingWindow": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "floating": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "normal": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "maximizedFilterByActive": true
}

Maybe activities could be added like this:

{
    "enabled": true,
    "maximized": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "touchingWindow": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "floating": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "normal": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
    "maximizedFilterByActive": true,
    "activity": {
        "activity-identifier-1": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border",
        "activity-identifier-2": "/home/luis/.config/panel-colorizer/presets/border"
    }
}
