The Color Management System (CMS) Oyranos allows the coordination of device specific Informations (ICC profiles) und system wide settings. KolorManager is a KDE Systemssettings component for Oyranos.
- kmdevices (Kolor Management Devices - Monitor/Printer/etc. profile setup)
- kminfo (Kolor Management Information - Displays specific profile information)
- kmsettings (Kolor Management Settings - Change behavior and policy settings)
- The v1.1.0 tagged release builds fine using Oyranos-0.9.6 .
- Actual git should the latest Oyranos from it's git repository. KolorManager gets updated pretty quick to Oyranos changes.
- Synnefo's libOyranosSynnefo is used for the program logic
Enter the following commands:
mkdir build && cd build/
cmake ..
make
make install
This build should install a "Kolor Management" icon in the KF5 settings window, under "Computer Administration". An alternative method for running the individual modules would be to type this in a terminal:
kcmshell5 [KMMODULE] (Where KMMODULE is "kcm_kmdevices", "kcm_kminfo", or "kcm_kmsettings")
This is handy for displaying debug information through the console.
The following files are installed under each module directory. They are shown here for reference:
MODULE.cpp (source code) MODULE.h (header) MODULE.ui (Qt Designer file) ui_MODULE.h (Qt designer header file - for hand coding purposes) CMakeLists.txt (build instructions for each module)
# local debug build
mkdir build && cd build

- started by Joe Simon in summer 2008-2009
- KolorManager maintained by Kai-Uwe Behrmann 2010-2016
- KolorServer was maintained by Casian Andrei 2012 (It is now a separate project.)
- The configuration has to be ported to a Oyranos configure object to manipulate settings and then apply at once. This is currently not possible, as each setting is imediately applied to the Oyranos settings DB.
- Camera support needs to be outlined first
