[Advice] DSB color choosing logic.

But then in apps whose action bar changes color or is hidden ie: Google Newsstand, the color would just stay the same.

Suggestion

you could have a system whereby the rom essentially learns which apps change color and which apps dont. So say you launch Facebook a couple of times and the color doesn't change, so the rom will write the color codes to a file for that app. And say you launch an app that changes color like Google Newsstand or Play Store a couple of times, the rom will learn not to write the color codes for the app to a file. It's important that the rom should remove saved color codes after updates and I suggest this can be done by pulling the date modified information and also, the rom should only write the colors after the 3rd or 4th launch so as to ensure everything is covered for. The ROM could also be shipped with like a color code file that automatically syncs with a file on PA servers so that the community can add colors for apps they use and all they have to do is launch the app and all requests to push color codes to that file have to go through a mod. Kind of like how the rom building process is now with gerrit and github except more lightweight I guess haha
