So lately I’ve been trying out a minimal style for my setup: going so far as to do away with any items at all. I actually really like just having the background (muzei hd landscapes) and opening the app drawer with a single tap.

I’m now exploring ways of representing data without icons or text. Currently I’m experimenting with panels with transparent color backgrounds to represent weather information. I wonder if it would be possible to apply a sort of filter to the background instead.

Ideally I’d want something akin to shaders you get in 3D applications/games. It would be perfect if I could, say, desaturate the image a bit when it’s cloudy or apply a blue hue when it rains etc. It is probably achievable using a muzei plugin but I have no clue how to make something like that.

Just wondering what you smart people can think of really.
