About Palette
Each notification card takes a little of its app's own colour, so a screen of notifications reads as a list of apps before you have read a word of it.
The colour comes from the app's icon. Folio looks for the strongest colour in it - the one that most of the icon actually is, not the brightest pixel in it - and mixes about a third of that into the card's glass: enough to tell two apps apart, not enough to argue with the text. An icon that is grey, black or white has no colour to give, so those cards stay exactly as they were. Every icon's colour is worked out once, away from the screen, and remembered.
Like every tweak it has its own page in Settings › Tweaks, with a switch for the cover screen and a switch for the inner one, so it can be on where it helps and off where it doesn't.
Inspired by Velvet by NoisyFlake and HiMyNameisUbik. Re-created from scratch for Folio; no tweak code is included.
What it can reach
A Market package gets no Android permissions. It configures things Folio already does, and its page in the app lists exactly what it changes. Folio never runs code from a source, and every change has Undo beside it.How packages work.
