Requires Xposed Framework!

Tinted Recnet Panels allows you to tint app title bars in the new Lollipop recents panel.
Launch the app once after installation to generate colours from app icons.

Works well for most part.

Something I have noticed, some apps just dont get tinted, although the colour seems to be set just fine inside the module.

Some eg I have noticed include bookmyshow, Tapatalk, Snapseed.

If you need some screenshot, or other data, I would be happy to assist.

Yesss. Thank you! This was very necessary! So long ugly gray panels!

@MohammadAG One request: could there be an option to manually set the color for an app (color picker/HEX code). It would help with a few apps that are better associated with a specific color than the default or detected one.

For example, Mi Fit is detected orange (from its icon I guess?) even though the app uses blue hues and natively tints the status bar, but it doesn't natively color its recent panel item for some reason. And also Textra, which even though it lets the user change the theme color including action/status bars, it always colors its recent panel window as its default blue color. I would love to have that app actually respond to the theme color I set it (without waiting on the devs to ever fix it :p ).

This was a really quick release since I've had exams for last couple of weeks, so changes need a reboot (or just kill SystemUI) for now. This'll be changed in an update.

If you mean they don't auto generated, that's because they use SDK 21, and I don't want to override colors for apps that are already updated, so it's the best compromise I could do. Tap them in the app force a color though.

Manual colors are planned, as I said above, it's a quick release.

Everything is working fine for me, thanks for posting this. Really makes it look a lot better.

My only suggestion is the option to hide the icon from the app drawer.

So now we need an option to select completely custom color. One of the best LL modules so far

No the colors are generated fine. And yes, they worked after a reboot.

Thanks for the module yet again, makes the Lollipop experience a bit more complete

Has anyone tried this module on Sense Lollipop? Any idea if it would work, since Sense has also implemented the new recents card UI? I hate to try it, as I don't know how to disable Xposed for Lollipop, since there's not flashable zip to do so, in case of a booting issue, as there is for KitKat Xposed.

Hello guys. Started using this MOD few days ago. I have 1 question. Why can't I remove/excluded the "Whatsapp" app from auto color generation? I'm using Whatsapp MD. I already set the primary color, etc to color that I wanted. But the MOD already set the color by default for Whatsapp and I can't do anything. Even tapping on it doesn't change anything. Any idea guys? or dev?:confused: @MohammadAG

Very very nice module, can you simply add the "enable all" option so we can't tap in every single app that isn't selected by default?
Thank you!

    Is this too different from the Lollistat module?

    Yes. That's for status bar. This is for the app cards in the recent panel.

    Hello
    I have installed this module on my Note 4 (with xposed installed and working well), but it doesn't work. Maybe it is due to Touchwiz, so I would appreciate any comment from people who can use it on a Touchwiz based rom.
    Thanks in advance...

    Yes unfortunately doesn't work on tochwiz
